The sun is shining brilliantly and the way the snow reflects the light warms the heart. The large flakes of snow that gracefully fell yesterday cover the ground and it puts a bright white blanket on the damp and soggy ground. It is a dose of winter; it is a reprieve from the dark, grey days that have become so prevalent these days. We have not had many days like this during our current season. It reminds me of a number of truths that are relevant to our community and our students. It first reminds me of God’s forgiveness, being washed whiter than snow. It is a good reminder that we are a community of grace and how we interact with each other. Secondly, as the snow reflects the sun shine outside we are called to reflect the image of Christ to the world. We are made in His image and some of our characteristics testify to that fact and as Christians we are called to be like shining stars in the universe. It brings me to the third truth of which I was reminded. This sunny day brings a vivid light and a stark contrast to the dull grey days we’ve experienced numerous times this winter. We are called as children of the light to shine in the darkness. As in Proverbs 4:18 “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” I encourage you to talk to people you know who could be a part of this community of grace shining like lights in the darkness as we reflect the image of God’s son, Jesus Christ.
