"The Life of a Snowflake" 

It doesn't snow much on the Gulf Coast of Texas, but it's just as well that it 
doesn't.  Folks down here haven't learned to drive in the white stuff.  So,
we don't know a lot about it except that people say there are no two snowflakes 
alike.  I read the other day that snowflakes are made from ice crystals
which form on dust particles as they fall gently from the heavens.  Did you 
know that all snow crystals have six sides?  But you shouldn't expect to easily
find a perfect six-sided snowflake.  They occur only about 25% of the time.  
Why?  Because a snowflake has a bumpy ride and difficult journey on its way
to earth.  Each flake is buffeted by wind, water and other snowflakes. 

It reminds me of people, only in reverse.  We are on our journey toward heaven, 
and along the way it gets bumpy and difficult, and we are pushed around
by people and life.  It may come as a shock to you but there are no perfect 
people.  As we struggle toward eternity, we latch onto many different things
for survival; sometimes we will attach ourselves to the dirt of the world.  
Anything that seems to be going in the right direction is a probable host but
it may have an improbable ending. 

I have a news flash for you: Jesus died for a lousy bunch of beaten up, pushed 
down, bumped around human beings just like you and me.  He never asked for
perfection from us.  All he asked for is our souls.  If we will attach 
ourselves to Him, he will take care of the rest. 

GospeLines Prayer: Father, sometimes the journey gets difficult and I find 
myself bruised and bloodied.  There are days when I can become a really big 
mess. 
Thank you for overlooking my stumped toes and skinned knees and loving me when 
I am unlovely.  Amen and amen.
