Snow Bamboo

Today is the 3. Advent (represented by the candle of joy), a symbol of Christ’s coming birth. In our technology culture so easy to ignore, missing what truly matters.

Having grown up in a four season country, I always equate Christmas with snow. One year when I was in Germany briefly during the winter, I saw this beautiful sight: Bamboo covered with snow. It was a paradox to me, as I equated bamboo with the warm weather in California. To see fresh green in snow, was just a delight. May you have time for Christ, and the beauty all around us this season.
