First snow and Christmas card picture...

Good morning my friends, I have had several comments on my beautiful new header, I was so awe stricken Sat morning when I woke up and saw the beauty of my world in the first light of day. So I had to grab my camera and save the views if only in pictures.
Friday night it started snowing in South Mississippi, I snapped a few pictures because I figured it would be lite and would be gone by the next day..you can check out those pictures here...I was so wrong...I am posting some of the beauty I saw Sat. morning...
As I think about the beauty of that morning, I realized, the first snow of the year is much like God's love for us, this beautiful scene was not so beautiful Friday before the snow, winter had started turning everything drab and the bushes and trees where loosing their leave, just like our hearts that are filled with sin has turned dark and cold, but his love is like the snow it takes and turns our ugly sin filled heart beautiful, with a love that makes it as white as snow...his love covers our heart, just like the snow covered the ugly landscape.
