Winter Snow Reflection

As I look out my window looking at the snow and watching the snow fall I think about the little flakes.

I think about their similarity to the human race. Each one of these little ice crystals are an individual just like us.  No two are alike. They all have something in common though, they have 6 sides. Not all of them are white because of suspended particulates in the atmosphere. Some are large and some are very tiny. Some are slow and some are fast.  Did you know that the Eskimos have 52 words for snow because it's so special to them?  

The prayer for today:

  But you desire honesty from the womb,
      teaching me wisdom even there.
  Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean;
      wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Psalms 51-6-7
