Snowflakes!

Snowflakes!
Originally uploaded by nutmeg66

I actually had the pleasure of being outside and enjoying some snow flurries today! I live in the South, so snowflakes are indeed a treat! Nothing stuck, but oh what magic to step out of the shopping mall (yes, I braved the crowds to get my half-price calendars!) into the joyful dancing snow flurries, big flakes that stayed on the car for a bit before melting away. Pure magic, and what a lift to my spirit after spending too much time in the mall. Ah, if only I had my camera with me........ by the time I got home, the snow had stopped. What's the next best thing to my own photo? This wonderful photo-share from Flickr, of course! :)

If you look for me......................

I received this via a forwarded e-mail, so I'm not sure of the source. The message, however, is just what I need this Advent season! So, of course, I'll share it with you.

IF YOU LOOK FOR ME AT CHRISTMAS,
You won't need a special star ---
I'm no longer just in Bethlehem,
I'm right there where you are.
You may not be aware of Me
amid the celebrations ---
You'll have to look beyond the stores
and all the decorations.
But if you take a moment
from your list of things to do
And listen to your heart, you'll find
I'm waiting there for you.
You're the one I want to be with.
you're the reason that I came,
And you'll find Me in the stillness
as I'm whispering your name.
Love,
Jesus
