White thoughts...

This was the view from my bedroom window on saturday morning! The snow has given a lot of us in South Wales some serious fun but some serious grief as well this week.

Having made the ardous trip to Pontypridd for work, more heavy snowfall saw me crawling my way back amongst all of the snow. My driving abilities have certainly been tested the last few days, as well as my patience!

Both my youth group Christmas parties have been called off in the last week along with my long awaited trip to see a friend in Bristol & the snow was starting to annoy me greatly but a few thoughts came to me.

Maybe the snow is God's way of saying 'Stop all of your work and all of the chaos that comes with Christmas and focus on the true meaning!'. I have missed work and have needed to get stuff done, and have also filled my time with all sorts of jobs to get done for Christmas...busying presents, writing cards etc. Amongst all of this I realise I find so little time to appreciate the One whom it is all about!
Maybe God just wants us to sit down & consider what we are celebrating and the importance of it and truly give the Glory to Him. I felt a lot better about the snow after thinking that.

Also, isn't it amazing that every snowflake is UNIQUE. Together all of these snowflakes are the talking point of the whole nation. As people we are created unique by God, and maybe if we worked together a little more and loved each other more we would really change this world and maybe even get the world talking about God.

Just a few thoughts.
