One tiny snowflake softly floated down from the gray winter
sky. It seemed lonely at first as it gently rested on a blade of grass. Shortly
after that, another snowflake drifted down toward the earth, swaying back and
forth in a casual motion. It wasn’t long before several more flakes drifted from
the skies above to join them. Soon, more snowflakes were falling at a faster
rate, until the ground had a layer of snow covering it like a thin white sheet.
The snow continued to fall throughout the night and left a thick blanket of wet
snow that covered everything in sight.
By morning, a heavy eight inches of snow overwhelmed
everything beneath it. The sky was clear and quickly lightened as the sun rose.
As the sun gleamed down, the bright white snow reflected the blinding light in
every direction, making it difficult to look directly at the snow without
sunglasses or through a tightly squinted eye. Warm rays of sunlight began to slowly
melt a fallen snowflake causing it to condense. A single droplet of water formed
as several more flakes condensed. The warmth from within our house kept drops of
water liquid as they trickled down to the roof’s edge. Clinging to the edge, the
liquid froze in place. The sun continued to melt each snowflake and one by one,
droplets of water made it to the edge of the roof. Each droplet of water made it
just a little bit further than the previous one before it froze in place. The
next morning, icicles ranging from six inches to six feet long hung from the roof’s
edge.
When even the smallest items built together, they can have an
incredible growing impact.
Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body, joined and held
together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working
properly, make the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
