Frosty Kiss

We've had two days of heavy fog and freezing mist/rain.  It really hasn't been to slick out on the streets or roads which is a good thing, but the ice or hoar frost that has accumulated on everything is beautiful.  The ice crystals look all fuzzy and white, almost like snow, but if you look closely you can see each tiny individual ice crystal that binds to the next one to make that effect that looks so cool.  It looks especially feathery on the tips of grass and on evergreen trees and since it is Christmas time and my railing has evergreen garland on it, my front porch is looking especially festive right at the moment.  Once the sun warms up it will be all gone, but not before I make it outside to get some great photographs and images of the pretty white frosty kiss that God planted on the world outside my window.  I'm reminded that if God can create something so beautiful as ice crystals and snow flakes with their intricate patterns, how much more care he's placed in creating each one of us and how beautiful we are to him, because we are his children.  This next time I see God's frosty kiss upon the world I will remind myself of the care he took to make me and all of the people in my life beautiful too.  Thank you God for your touch upon my life.
