Dear God,

We are already part way through Advent but it seems like only yesterday we were living through Lent.  Time is moving so swiftly and part of me wants to call Time Out.  I want to stop time and take a look around me.

For me winter is that time.  Every time I look out the window, see snow on the ground, barren branches and squirrels searching for hidden nuts, I feel like I am close to heaven, like maybe heaven moved closer to the earth.  My breathing slows, my breaths taking in part of heaven's air and I feel at peace.

Holy God,

thank you

for the blessing

of winter.

Thank you

for quiet thoughts

that reveal

holy things.

Thank you

for insights,

winter scenes

and holy kisses.

Yours, Andrea
