The Snow Fell Lightly
By John W. Vander Velden
The snow fell lightly. The large puffs of white, sailing softly upon
the air’s faintest breath. Each of the
millions of flakes coming to rest silently upon brothers and sisters that
arrived the days before. The air filled
with the slowly dancing crystalline beauties, each the same yet different. For it is said that no two snowflakes are
identical. Can it be that among the
billions of snowflakes…those that have fallen over all time…there has never
been a twin? That God has assembled the
frozen vapors each unique!

If all snowflakes…each an
individual…like none other…should we be surprised about the family of man. That each, though similar in some ways, are
in truth like no one else in all creation.
A person made with care by a God that loves us all…different than
others. Not better but certainly not
worse…just unique, which makes us distinctive…matchless… irreplaceable…and
unbelievably rare.
So on the next winter’s day, as
snowflakes fall, take time to think of how the God that loves you…made you like
none other and set you gently upon this world…like the snow that fell lightly.
