b'Many people love snow. Others not so much! Some people love sledding, ice skating,tubing, snowboarding, skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and more. Others dread the trouble snow often causes\\u2014dangerous road conditions, canceled travel plans, power outages, etc.\\nBut snowflakes are as varied andunique as people\\u2019s opinions of them. Andit\\u2019s the same with us. No two snowflakes or humans are exactly alike. God has created each person to be unique and original. We are created in His image (Genesis 1:27). Everyone has their own personality and talents. While we do live in a broken world, being made in God\\u2019s image means\\u2014so long as we are not accepting sin\\u2014we can celebrate people\\u2019s unique personality traits, talents, and quirks.\\nSo, the next time you see a snowflake, picture what it looks like under a microscope: multi-sided and made of as many as two hundred ice crystals. It may look like every other snowflake from a distance, but it is completely different, a miracle of God\\u2019s creation. And you are too. \\n\\u2022 What unique physical characteristics has God created you with? What talents do you have? \\n\\u2022 How do these traits give glory to God as the Creator? \\n\\u2022 Read Psalm 104. How do other parts of creation glorify God? \\nI will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. Psalm 139:14 (NKJV)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nPsalm 139:13-14'
