The Tale of the Snowman

Once upon a time there was a snowman.  The world was dark, little snow on the ground, but there was hope as long as the snowman stood.

Then the rain came, and the earth warmed and the rain drizzled the snowman until he was no more.  In that day there was wailing.  It was a sackcloth and ashes season.

Do not despair in the night for there is joy in the morning!  For the world became white as snow, and behold he was alive!  He had come back from the depths of the earth to bring hope to all.

He lives so that others also may have life and have it abundantly!

Does it not amaze you how a simple true story of a snowman at the beginning of Winter can focus us all on the birth, sacrifice, and hope of Christ?
