Winter Wonderland

As many of you know by first hand experience, this week has been full of cold weather and snow. In fact I know of many people who did not have school because it was so bad in their area. However, Levelland decided that we could make it to work everyday this week if we just started two hours later. But that is not what I am going to be talking about today.
One reason I love snow is because it makes everything look so beautiful. It coats everything in a shimmering white blank. Unless of course you live in West Texas in which case it starts out white and then become brown as the wind continues to blow. I was driving home the other day from school and an analogy came to me. There is that hymn that says he washes us white as snow. And then I thought about it, our sin to God is like that little grain of sand that has been blown onto the snow. It stands out like a sore thumb and there is no way that we can hide it. Even if we try to throw something on top we can still see the effects of our sin on our lives. God turns us into this shimmering beautiful creation and then we just go and mess it up by trying to satisfy our worldly desires. I know that right now there is a lot of sand staining my life and the only person who can clean it up for me is Christ. So I must ask for his help. What is polluting your snow today?
