Vince Havner quipped, “Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic” (Warren; TPDL; page 275).
A week ago today, Southwest Ohio was pounded with a blizzard. It was amazing how much snow fell in a little over 24 hours and the effect that the “united effort” of a bunch of snowflakes had on our region. Plans were changed, meetings were cancelled, and traffic stopped or at least was altered!
This morning, I had the privilege to witness a group of Christians work together to put on an Easter Egg Hunt for area children at our local YMCA. It was amazing to see the sight of hundreds of young children running to gather up their share of 6,000 + Plastic Easter Eggs filled with candy treats.
It was encouraging to see the smiles on the children’s faces, the joy of grateful parents, and the traffic jam at the YMCA all because some imperfect, frail followers of Christ join together to serve others!
