A Treasure of Snow

Today I'm sharing some thoughts from one of my brothers after it snowed. Maybe it will be an encouragement and good reminder to you as it was to me.

I love how silent everything is after a good snow especially when you hike somewhere where nobody is or has been in a long while.
Snow is like light in that it reveals things that have always been there but you otherwise would have never known about. Just today I found that the neighbor cat feels right at home anywhere on our property, I tracked a coyote on its rounds and wondered why it would bother following a sparrow's trail for 10 yards, I saw where a fox had traveled along a log and then crossed a back road, and I found that the rabbit population isn't as low as I had thought.
These are things that go on around me every day, but I never see them and therefor never think about them; so to me they never happened. But in reality they did and do. I wonder how many times God protects and provides for us in ways we never notice so in our minds it's life as usual. But then every once in a while it snows and we're surprised to see how God has been working when in reality He has been working all along but we've just been oblivious to it.

Job 38:22   

Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
