Salt

Before going to bed last night I looked out the window only to see the snow gracefully falling softly to the ground. The forecast was calling for 5-9 inches. As I looked out the window this morning, the forecast didn't disappoint.

The whole family got involved in the wonderful task of shoveling snow.
We shoveled it off the driveway.
We shoveled it off the walkway.
We shoveled it off the sidewalk.
We shoveled it off the area in front of the mailbox.

What we did next was pure genius!
My apologies to my environmentally friendly friends.
We scattered salt all over the driveway!

Within seconds the remaining ice and snow were dissolved and melted into wet water.

A little bit of salt can do amazing things with ice and snow.

My iWitness...

In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus declares, "You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet." (Matthew 5. 13)

Consider yourself a "salt shaker."

We live in a winter wonderland with people's heart's frozen to the warmth of the grace, mercy and love of God.

Go ahead...

Sprinkle a little bit of your "salty self" on those around you and watch the wintry world of icy stares and snowbound hearts melt in front of your very eyes, morphing into a blooming spring of dazzling colorful flowers whose fragrance emanates the glory of God.

It really is quite something to behold!

And that's my iWitness...
Laugh often and Fear not!
David!
