Our first snow

Late last night, I drove out of the underground parking lot at the Library, to find a snowstorm.  It was our first snow of the year.  I was in a hurry, as usual, to get home and be with my family.  However, the drive was a beautiful one.  The snow flakes were so huge that I could almost see their delicate patterns.  I was reminded once again of the intricate perfection of nature.  I thought of the picture book, "Snowflake Bentley" that I have read to my children, and how no two snowflakes that fall are alike.  It's amazing to think about.  God is great.
