A Christmas Snow

As I was thinking about what to write tonight I thought about how pretty it was outside with the freshly fallen snow.  It is a beautiful white winter wonderland.  I began to think how when you think Christmas you always think snow.  Maybe this is just because in America, Christmas is in the winter so there is often snow on Christmas day.  I like to think of snow as being another symbol of Jesus Christ.  You think of a snowfall and how peaceful and quite it is.  Just like Christ always brings peace to us in the middle of a storm.  The white could represent the purity of Christ.  Snow is only white as long as it is clean.  Just like we when we are clean from the sins of the world we are pure.  Jesus Christ is loved by all the little children and he loves them.  Just as snow is loved by all the kids.  They want to spend every minute they can playing in it just as the children in the scriptures spent long hours with Christ.

Although some of this symbolism may be a stretch, it you cannot deny the feeling you get when standing in the middle of a quite winter forest.  A feeling of peace and an escape from the noise of the world.  I love snow and look forward to it every year just as I love Christ and look forward to the day when I can be with Him once again.
