On Christmas Eve of 2004 (Grace's first Christmas) it snowed about 12'' at our home in Victoria, TX. We were leaving to celebrate Christmas with Darren's family. As we loaded up our 4-Runner I noticed several snowflakes that had fallen on my jacket were perfect in their shape! I was amazed! I had never really seen a snowflake up close...living in South Texas doesn't provide that opportunity on a regular basis! It looked as if God had a little snowflake punch & was punching them out of a sheet of ice & sending them to earth. Just so you know, it continued to snow that day & we woke up with our first ever white Christmas!! In fact it was the very first white Christmas ever in Victoria, Texas and the first time it had snowed 12'' since February of 1895! Simply amazing!!
This past Thursday we had a 50% chance of snow showers. While it did snow, we didn't receive any accumulation but we did get to experience the thrill of the white stuff steadily falling from the sky! Both yesterday morning & this morning we had snow flurries. In fact, as I am typing this we are still seeing flurries fall. Unfortunately it is so dry outside that it evaporates quickly after landing. I was able to capture a few more pics of the details of a snowflake! From what I can tell there are no 2 snowflakes alike! I am amazed at the detail put into each one. If God cares about the detail of a simple snowflake, how much more does He care about the details in my life. This reminder has been one that I've needed this week! Hope you enjoy the pics of snowflakes as much as I have!!
