The first snowfall came yesterday evening as I sat beside my wife driving in her Mini Cooper. The flakes were some of the largest ones we have ever seen. The falling snow was beautiful, but was made more beautiful, because she and I shared its arrival together. There is something peaceful about falling snow. There is something refreshing about falling snow. There is something hopeful about falling snow. But there is something beneath these emotions that is even more beautiful. It is the voice that falling snow awakens within me. It is not my voice. It is a quite still voice that whispers, “I AM here and I AM with you.” It is the voice of my Creator, the voice of God. How I know it is His voice I cannot explain, I just know. Falling snow, for me, is much more than just falling snow. It is a unique way that the Lord speaks to me of His presence and for that I say, “Let it snow.”
1 Kings 19:11-13 then came a gentle whisper from God

Awesome Pat, I get a similar feeling when I'm in the tree stand. It makes me think of a song by Andrew Peterson called "The silence of God" I think nature sometimes proves Gods existence loudest!
