Numbers 6:24 “The LORD said
to Moses, Tell Aaron and his sons, ’This is how you are to bless the Israelites.
Say to them:
“The Lord bless you
and
keep you.”
I am watching a snowflake reach
its final resting place.
Against the silver-gray January
sky, I watch the snowflake complete the final part of its long silent journey. Multitudes
of snowflakes fall, but none touches this one on their downward descent. As if
God molded it, held it, released it to gravity’s pull. Alone but not alone. Finally,
it lands, not with a thud, but like a small child gently laid onto a bed,
barely making a dent. Kept safe all the way.
Imagine God molding you, releasing
you, watching you, floating like a feather on the quietest of breezes, falling
toward your most gentle of landings into the waiting arms of the saints.
“May the Lord bless you
and keep you.”
One snowflake floating home.
