Yesterday I drove our daughter and her friends down to Afton for a day of snowboarding. As I drove I was overwhelmed with the beautiful snow-blanketed fields and the evergreen trees decorated in snow. The landscape simply glistened in the bright sunlight of a cold winter day.
The words of the psalmist came to mind, fresh in my heart from Ash Wednesday. "...wash me and I will be whiter than snow." Out of the waters of baptism we receive the gift of forgiveness. This gift cleanses us and covers us in the fresh coating of God's grace.
How is your life in need of a fresh covering? What are the sins and failings you see in your life that cry out for healing and forgiveness?
May our Lord cover you with a fresh blanket of forgiveness in Christ now and always.
Peace,
Pastor Durk
