It very rarely snows in Texas but this last weekend we had over a foot of snow! It was absolutely beautiful.
Could've come like a mighty storm
With all the strength of a hurricane
You could've come like a forest fire
With the power of heaven in Your flame
But you came like a winter snow
Quiet and soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below

Even though this song is about Jesus' coming as a baby to earth it also reminds me of the time in the Bible when God spoke Elijah in a quiet and gentle voice:
11The Lord said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by."
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Elijah 19:11-13
