A Message from Pastor Hillary…
For some of our children, and us, the closest we
will get to a landscape of fresh snow and friendly
snowmen is the movie “Frozen.” Yet, we all can
see the beauty in the twinkle of a snowflake. The
snowflake is a wonderful mystery. (Have you cut
one out of paper lately?) It is flat and six-sided.
AND no two are exactly alike. It’s that way with
people. No two children are alike. Every person in
the world is one of a kind – unique. Those sisters
Elsa and Anna, and their new friends Christophe,
Sven and Olaf (even Hans) are each unique!
Finding their special personalities, skills, gifts and
style let them love and set them all free (Let it Go!)
to be their own selves. Snowflakes, people - all
are one of a kind. We can spend some time
looking at the special things that people can do.
We can notice how each person has special
talents and abilities. We can ask God to show us
what our special abilities are and what we can do
with them to add to the beauty and love in the
world. May you enjoy the specialness of each
person in your family!
I praise you God because I am fearfully and
wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I
know that full well. Psalm 139:14
God Bless.
Pastor Hillary
