Dear God,

Out the window I watch as tiny white snowflakes fall gently to the ground.  It is such a beautiful picture because it warms my heart, coerces a small on my face and leads me to the divine.  I can watch for hours drawing closer and closer to you.

It is extraordinary to imagine that each flake is unique, no two alike.  They fall from the same sky and yet are so different.  Fallen to the ground they pile up and cover the brown earth.  Literally I look out and gaze upon millions of exquisite designs.

Something so magnificent happens inside me in winter.  It's like I see you in a way I miss in spring, summer and autumn.  I fall in love with you all over again every December and my heart grows full.

Thank you,

Blessed God,

for the gift

of winter.

Thank you

for her secrets

hidden beneath

the soil.

Thank you

for eyes

to see

your goodness,

beauty and grace.

Love, Andrea
