Dear God,

It was while I was praying that another miracle was forming.  I had sat with my circle of friends reading my devotional books and contemplating their trustworthy, faith-filled words when it was time to move to prayer.  When I prayed finally for the whole world and all who are in it and said amen, I opened my eyes.  There before me, my long-awaited dream came true.  It was snowing, so many fat, beautiful flakes were falling just outside my window.  As they collected on the grass, trees and shrubs, my smile spread as my voice declared your praise once again.

There is hardly a more beautiful sight this time of year!  Those tiny, white creations remind me winter is coming.  My most favorite season is a time of spiritual nourishment and refreshment for me.  Like the trees that dig their roots deeper into the ground searching for nutrients, so do I dig down searching for the same.  And I am never disappointed!

Holy and Loving God,

thank you

for the gift

of snowflakes.

Thank you

for each one,

created uniquely

and exquisitely.

Thank you

for the season

of winter

and all her

special treasures.

Love, Andrea
