Snow is Super


In the wintertime, it is difficult for the animals in the wild to find water. The ground is hard and the lakes and rivers are frozen. In our earlier, more rugged days, we humans would have been without water as well.

Water is essential to life, so not having water in the winter would not do. Therefore, God performed a miracle. He created a unique way for water to get cold without turning into ice. We call it snow. Snow is a wonderful, unique structure that lies on the ground in such a way that the animals and us can just scoop it up and eat it.

But God didn't stop there. Not only is snow functionally unique and wonderful...it is a work of art. Every snowflake is a special and beautiful design. Together, they are a blanket of beauty.

Unique function and unique beauty. Only God has the love and the power to do that.
