I woke up this January 1, with this view outside my kitchen window, and thought of this verse in Lamentations. Snow is such a great reminder of newness and purity! Thank the Lord that His mercies are new and perfect every morning, every week, every month, and every year! I thought this was an excellent reminder from the Lord as we remember the past year and begin anew.
"I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.
I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.
Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
--Lamentations 3:19-23
