A snowy morning, a simple question, and a powerful reminder of God’s love

Yesterday, I never got around to checking the weather. So when I woke up this morning to a quiet blanket of snow covering everything in sight, it caught me completely off guard—in the best kind of way.

Still tucked in bed, I grabbed my laptop (as I often do on weekends), and started scrolling and sharing a few light-hearted thoughts on Facebook. Among them, I asked a simple, silly question:

“Do snowmen fall from Heaven unassembled?”

Just a bit of fun. But then, my friend Anne replied. And her response stopped me in my tracks.

Here’s what she wrote:

“I think that is a cool idea. Think how proud we are when we stand back and look at the snowmen we made from snow—and then how sad we are when they melt. Just think—God made us from dust and then gave us the breath of life. Oh, how proud and full of love and joy that must have made Him. And then when we turn from Him and let ourselves melt into our sin… oh, the sorrow that must cause! He is so awesome that He gives us a chance to never have to melt, but to be alive in Him always!”

Let that sink in for a moment.

From Dust—and Never Meant to Melt

Anne’s reflection took a playful idea and turned it into something profoundly meaningful.

God formed us from dust… and breathed life into us.
(Genesis 2:7)

Just like we smile at the snowmen we create—standing back, proud of what we made—I imagine God’s heart was bursting with joy when He formed humanity, shaped in His image, made for relationship with Him.

But then sin crept in.

We melted—slowly, or all at once—back into what we came from.
Not because He failed us. But because we failed Him.

And yet… He never gave up.

Grace That Holds Us Together

The beauty of the gospel is this:
We don’t have to stay melted.

God, in His love, gives us new life in Christ—not just breath in our lungs, but redemption for our souls.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
Old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17

We were never meant to live fragmented or fallen apart.
We were meant to be whole, restored, and alive—held together by grace.

Holy Wonder in Everyday Moments

I love how God uses the simplest things to speak to us.

A surprise snowfall.
A whimsical Facebook post.
A friend’s tender-hearted reply.

Sometimes we overcomplicate spiritual insight, when really, God is always present—always whispering reminders of His love through the ordinary details of our lives.

This morning, I was reminded—once again—what an awesome God we serve.

He delights in what He’s made.
He grieves when we melt into sin.
But He offers us life—full and eternal—in Him.

So, do snowmen fall from Heaven unassembled?

Maybe they do.
But more importantly, we were formed from dust—intentionally, lovingly, and with purpose.
And we don’t have to fear melting…
Because we’ve been given new life in the One who holds all things together.
