Snowflakes


Every Ambulance station in our service has a Chaplain, our station Chaplain is Father Bob, he comes to the station and has a cuppa with which ever crew is on duty, and will ask how other members of the station are if he hasn't seen them for a while, we offered to take him out on the ambulance with us to jobs (3rd manning) and he took up the offer and has been to several jobs with different crews.
Father Bob is very easy to chat to, whether you are Christian or not.
Today when I got to work there was a box on the table together with a note from him, the note said something like please take a snowflake and put it on your Christmas tree, to remind you of Gods works. (this is probably not quite what he wrote as so much has happened since I read the note) The note went on to say that using a special type of magnifying machine this snowflake is a copy of a real one using several techniques.
As soon as I got home I showed my husband, found a thin gold thread and hung the snowflake on the Christmas tree.
It is very delicate and so pretty that your eye is immediately drawn to it.
Thank you Father Bob, I hope you have a peaceful and Blessed Christmas.
