Watch or imagine gentle snow falling. There is something peaceful about watching snow fall when it is not a blizzard. With a large portion of the United States predicted to get blanketed in snow, I urge you take some time to watch the flakes fall. Listen to some soft or religious music and have a glass of wine.
Put blizzards, traffic snarls, super market lines, shoveling, plowing and frigid temperatures out of your mind. Sit back. Remember each snowflake has its own individual design. Extend your coat sleeve and catch a few flakes. You will see what I mean. A true miracle of nature.
I like to think of the snowflakes as coming down from heaven with messages to us from our deceased children. Messages of love, memories, peace, beauty. Silent greetings. Sit quietly to feel the spirit of your child. Perhaps a message will come. Perhaps acceptance and new realizations. But most of all, feeling our children are all right. In the care of loving angels who know each one of us as parents. Angels who know what we need to know. Know how we feel. Sending us peace strength, courage and hope. But, we must take time to listen. To feel.
Watch the snow fall today. Know that it is so much more than a weather event. So much more than a sidewalk to shovel. A driveway to plow. Each flake is God's message to us that He holds our children in His hands until we meet again. Be still, watch and feel.
"Because you have always been my help." Psalm 63: 7
