Christmas decorations were a little lacking around our house this year, so I decided to make some snowflakes. When several girlfriends came over for a Christmas party, it turned into a snowflake-making class—who knew! But as I showed friends how to cut and where and we discussed “Snowflake Theory,” I realized that snowflakes carry a lot of spiritual truth.
• You can’t hurry a work of creation. If you cut too fast, or too far, or without thinking, the whole thing will fall apart in your hands.
• The more the Creator cuts away, the more delicate and beautiful the final result will be.
• It’s impossible to tell what the final product will look like until it’s completely finished.
• The completed work of art will never look exactly how you expected it to.
• In order for it to look right, a lot of stuff has to fall away.
• I made a lot of snowflakes in the past few weeks. Never once did two look the same—even when I tried!
I feel like God wants me to be more like a paper snowflake in His hands—willing to be cut apart, trusting my Designer, waiting for Him to unfold me and see what I look like!

Beautiful. Very well written. May I be like that paper snowflake in His hand as well this year. Thank you for the words and at the same time, encouragement.
