Despite all the snow coming down, I am trying to think about all the beauty surrounding me. I am up in La Crosse, WI this weekend visiting a very dear friend of mine and am finding it pretty impossible to not find beauty through the layer of ice and snow. Last night driving up here through the flurries I loved the way the snow whizzed over and around my car while never seeming to stick to it. I love the flurries right now blurring my vision of the majestic bluffs in the window. There is so much beauty still present in my life even during the doldrums of winter. God gave us these winter months not as a punishment or a test but as a tribute to the true beauty that we reside in. The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for He founded it on the seas and established it on the waters. Psalm 24:1-2
Thank you for giving me this wondrous place to call my home, for me to experience the true beauty of that You created. Thank you for the ever present life and diversity that surrounds me even in the dead of winter. I love it all and help me find the beauty of everything despite the grayness of the picture.
