ice ice baby....doo doo doodoo doo do do do

Well, if you live around the Miami Valley you may have experienced the ice that came down and decided to stay awhile. Ice can be beautiful, but quite dangerous! So I was thinking about ice and what makes it pretty, because what they term "black ice" is not pretty b/c you can't even see it and then bam you're down. What makes the ice pretty is the light that shines on it! But, ice also causes damage- I heard many stories of trees and limbs that were breaking because of the weight of the ice. So, I then started thinking about our hearts. There is a verse in the Bible that says- today, if you hear His Voice, do not harden Your heart. I was thinking that when we go our own way and don't listen to God we harden- just like the ice- and we become weighty; brokeness occurs. Pride comes before a fall. But when the light comes and shines and warms the ice, beauty comes. Just like Jesus, who is the Light of the world, His loves warms our heart. And as I witnessed yesterday- shards of ice hit the ground from the warmth- the light, Jesus, creates beauty in our life.
