April Snow in Colorado - Beautiful.

Snowing today! April snow. Wet snow. White snow. Beautiful snow! I think that fresh snow, covering the ground and everything else, has to be one of the most beautiful sights in God's creation. I enjoy waking in the morning to a snow covered world... seeing pure white snow on the roofs, trees, etc.

I'm thinking of a quote from the book of Isaiah...
Isaiah 1:18"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."

God's love has made it possible for me to enjoy that same promise in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 1:7-8) In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

Snow brings many blessings with it, but the reminder of the purity that only Christ can bring comes to my mind today.
