snow globe

tonight, i was leaning on the counter, and i looked up and saw this snow globe that i've never paid a whole lot of attention to. inside was the nativity scene. i turned it upside down and twisted the knob on the bottom so the music would play. then i shook the snow up and stared into it.

there was some other confusion going on about where we were going, or something like that ... and i just sat and tuned out everything but the music box and the falling snow inside that little globe.

and i found that i lost myself in something i couldn't understand.

i don't understand how a music box works.

how can i seem to lose myself in Jesus, who is so much bigger, when i don't even understand how he works?

but wait a second. do i lose myself in Jesus, or do i find myself in him?

i guess sometimes i find myself confining the great lengths of God in a space comparable to that of a snow globe.

it's just that, the music is jumbled, and the snow is blurring my view of the Jesus inside of it.

i still like snow globes.
