New hope seen in snow - lesson from a hobbit

We finally have gotten 2" of snow. Liam recognise the snow from books and an episode of the Backyardigans. Sometimes snow is used to describe leprosy in the Bible. Leprosy pictures sin and sin's effect. Sometimes snow is used to describe Jesus hair in His second coming. Snow freshly fallen is brilliant in color. But in Isaiah snow is used to describe being forgiven and cleansed of sin. “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." NIV Fresh snow is clean and pure and is a wonderful picture of forgiveness and a new start. Being forgiven is a wonderful feeling and living forgiven is a wonderful place to be.

In the Hobbit the song of the dwarfs they don't forget and they don't forgive. A hobbit apparently has this ability. Bilbo is chosen not because of his power but for his random acts of kindness he does in daily life. The king of the dwarfs has a poor opinion of Bibbo, but the acts of kindness and willingness of Bilbo to stand by the king when the king is helpless and wins the king over. In the Lord of the Rings, Gimbly forgives the elf when the elfin queen gives Gimbly three strands of hair. This act of kindness wins the dwarf and he able to become close to Legolas. Forgiveness becomes a theme of the fellowship made possible by the hobbits go about doing their acts of kindness in the little things, which become the biggest things in the story.
When you look at snow this winter be thankful for the forgives God gives through Christ. Our feet become light when they are forgiven. Keep walking
