Snowflakes

And I am using the word "snowflake" in the old-fashioned sense, to mean flakes of falling snow, not people who are very quick to take offense.    Quite large flakes were falling on Wednesday, but not very many of them, and not enough to settle.

And every snowflake is different.  What does that tell us about the intricacy, the variety of the creation - all the creation, not only the earthly creation.  We get a wonderful glimpse of the immense universe when we look up into the night sky on a clear night and see a dizzying vista of stars - more than we can imagine.  And each one of those is different too.  

As 1 Corinthians 15:41 says:  "The glory of the sun is one sort, and the glory of the moon is another, and the glory of the stars is another; in fact, one star differs from another star in glory."

One star differs from another star in glory.

Regarding the other kind of snowlake, Ecclesiastes 7:9 tell us  "Do not be quick to take offense, for the taking of offense lodges in the bosom of fools."

We can take that wise advice.  Or not.  It is up to us.  But everything Jehovah teaches us is for our benefit. We can trust him.

I got my long road (of letters) finished today and Captain Butterfly posted them.  We talked to Bea and Jacks on the phone yesterday.  I have been working on my talk for Thursday, and I hosted a Zoom meeting this morning for the field service.
