Lessons snakes taught me...

The snake was smarter than all the other creatures but because of its deeds it became cursed more than all creatures.

In the desert The Jews were being bitten by snakes and Moses makes a copper snake places it on a pole and all who gaze upon it are healed.

The power of good is greater than the power of evil. If through an evil deed one can fall so low so for sure through repentance one can be lifted to the highest levels.
