Snowflakes

As I left home to go to church tonight, I stopped by the mailbox to drop off a letter. As I returned to my car, I thought I noticed by the corner of my eye a tiny snow flake fall. Then I was given an early Christmas present from a friend tonight- a personalized snowflake bracelet. On the box it stated:

Floating down from heaven
Shimmering crystal stars
Snowflakes are unique creations
Nature's masterpiece they are.
Just like a crystal snowflake
You are one of a kind it's true
So enjoy this sparking tribute
Just for being you.

I googled "snowflakes up close" and found the coolest website with pictures of snowflakes. http://www.its.caltech.edu/~atomic/snowcrystals/photos/photos.htm

God is so amazing. It's such a mystery to even begin to try to understand. That the creator of the universe could love us each individually and create us as such unique people. I am humbled to by the sight of these snowflakes. Thank you Lord for making me - me. I pray I will never shrink back or not appreciate all that makes me who I am. You've created me to be me-for Your glory.
