So much for being “intentional & deliberate!” A thick blanket of snow brought much of the South to a screeching halt. It did much the same for me & mine. I spent some much needed family time “chillaxin’”. I also cooked & baked, baked & cooked…then baked some more. Of course I was out shooting the beauty & was naturally drawn to the oaks. As I captured image after image I contemplated my last post. I couldn’t help but see the parallel between the snow over the darkness of the oaks & our sins being covered by the cleansing redemption of Christ.
The weather turned to freezing drizzle & freezing fog, which left a thick layer of ice over the soft, fluffy snow. I saw another perspective on this. Many accept the forgiveness of Christ & His cleansing, but often lock it away to keep for themselves. It looks pretty, but on closer inspection it is trapped inside a hardened crust, a protective layer. Time & time again God keeps renewing me, yet I wonder how often do I allow it to get crusted over…? It is easy to hold on tightly to the things not of this world, while I remain in this world. Perhaps I wouldn't need so much renewing if I would be more generous with the faith & forgiveness I've been given.
