Light Fix 12.17.10
When you look at it, it’s white, it’s glistening, the trees, the ice. But then there are people who say, “Boy I hate to see the snow,” “I don’t like the snow.” But you know, this is Toledo, this is Toledo weather and I, quite frankly, think it’s absolutely beautiful.
And then one day I read in the Bible a verse and it said, the treasures of the snow. And I began to think about the treasures of the snow. You know, come Spring we’re going to be glad for this cold weather, really cold weather and this snow and ice – it kills off millions of mosquitoes and bugs and that’s going to make Spring and Summer a little bit nicer. God forbid that we should have to put up with all those bugs that will die because of this snow and this cold.
Then when you think about the treasures of the snow, think about all the jobs that are created in our economy. There are gloves, and there are coats, and there are hats, and there are boots, and there are ski shoes, and ski boots, and snow skis – you name it, just all kinds of jobs that are created for people to work in. People who plow the snow, people who salt the roads – all of the jobs, all of the economy, all of the commerce, and you begin to get a picture of the treasures of the snow.
It is a season. It is winter and it’s cold. But there are treasures in the snow. There are treasures in the cold. And the message for us is, let’s enjoy every season because in every season there are blessings from God for us.
So enjoy! Put on a coat, hat, gloves – stay warm, but enjoy the treasures of the snow.
