Little Mae went out to play in the pure white snow that had just fallen. When she came in, she said, “Mommy, I couldn’t help praying when I was out playing in the snow.”
“What did you pray, my dear?” asked Mother.
“I prayed the snow prayer that I learned in Sunday school — ‘Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow,’" replied Mae.
“Well now, that was a beautiful prayer,” said Mother. “And there is a sweet promise to go with it: ‘Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.’ "
“And what can wash them white as snow? The Bible says in Revelation 7, ‘These are they which... have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.’ "
