Every new snowflake comes to the earth
as a picture of our Saviour’s birth,
because they are sent from up above
and remind us of God’s care and love.
Each one is so intricate and small
because Christ sees the details of us all,
and just as two are never the same
the Lord knows and calls us each by name.
Snowflakes gently cover the world in white
and hide what’s unlovely from our sight,
showing us how He covers our sin
and gives us His grace when we come to Him.
So may every snowflake bring Christ to mind
and in every bit of white may you find
a reason to celebrate anew
and a reminder of His love for you.
- Holley Gerth
“In solitude, on wings of prayer
My soul ascends before the throne;
My only hope of strength is where
My heart and His meet all alone.” – Anon
“As we grow older we become forgetful and absent-minded. Now what was I saying? Oh well. Happy Birthday, Anna! Remember, age is just a number.”

“Lord, let me be a song that lingers in Your ears
A pleasing sound that touches Your heart
Let me be the music that carries Your message
To a world that is hurting and torn apart.”
