A Picture of Winter

A PICTURE OF WINTER The first snowfall came unannounced A beautiful blanket of white Covered the grass now winter browned And, oh, what a lovely sight It clung to the tree limbs of a giant cedar And I watched in anticipation To me, there's nothing neater Than the unfolding of God's creation The dazzling beauty of each tiny flake And knowing no two are the same Made me wonder how God could make Something so small glorify His Name Yet He, in all His splendor Was able to create A scene so beautifully tender And show the world how great His imagery lays before us So magnificent and so grand And how He holds the universe In the hollow of His hand As you reflect on this picture of winter And the marvelous joy it gives Give thanks and praise to the sender Be glad that our God lives Curtis Moorman 22 November 2011

You know, I believe that you have found your voice, so to speak, in the faith-based poems that you have been writing lately. They are touching, poignant, and true. Excellent! All the best, Gershon

Gordon, I was in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee in a conference with Dr. David Jeremiah doing the preaching, Charles Billingsley, The Gaither Vocal Band, and others leading the worship sessions, and as an added and well received special guest, President George W. Bush came and did a tribute to Veterans. What a great time! Thanks for the kind words!
