Bud Ogle Cabin (Junglebrook)Underneath God's frozen blanket
lies my world of imperfection,
striving to endure.
A snowfall covers the earth's harsh angles
and softens each rough-cut line,
creating a new and perfect vision
from this imperfect world of mine.
The snow is cleansing and unifying,
encompassing everything;
it enhances all assets, erases all blemishes
as to each object it clings.
I love the snow in all its grandeur,
for what it reminds me of--
it is like the cleansing, covering qualities
of God's forgiving love.
For God takes our faults and failings
and blankets them in grace,
softens our sharp edges
and erases every trace.
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow"
and from whom each snowflake falls!
His love, like snow's white blanket,
recreates and covers all!
From February 5, 1985
