Dear God,

The snow finally came with swirling winds and dropping temperatures.  Creating a perilous setting it was a time we prayed.  Some for safety.  Some for getting where we needed to be.  Some in gratitude for the beauty snow brings.

Although I worried and prayed for people out in the chaos of a wintry storm, still I sat like a child mesmerized by the beauty of winter in all its dimensions.  I loved the wind twirling around, snowflakes at times as large as a nickel and the growing ground white cover.  I had waited since October for winter to really appear in all its glory.

Thank you,
O God,
for the season
of winter.
Bless and
protect all
who are caught
in unsafe conditions.
Help us see
the blessing
of winter's glory.

Love, Andrea
