As the title suggests, it is indeed serendipity to have snow coming down from the sky in Galway. The temperature was -3 C and I couldn't stand that long outside as the coldness gradually bit my fingertips. Last year we didn't have snow this much, just some tiny snow flakes which didn't even draw together since they melted and disappeared as they reached the ground. Alhamdulillah at last I get to see what the snow is actually like, hear the cracking sound of the snow as I walk on it and build a mini snowman. Will this be the first and the last? Only God knows.
"Do you not realize that GOD drives the clouds, then gathers them together, then piles them on each other, then you see the rain coming out of them? He sends down from the sky loads of snow to cover whomever He wills, while diverting it from whomever He wills. The brightness of the snow almost blinds the eyes."(An-Nur, 24:43)
