Everyday Miracles 2: a blizzard in Iowa – by Jim Kessler

cancellations and freedom from pressing responsibilities

the beauty of horizontal flying snow
blessed isolation

enchantment and heat from flames in the fireplace
time to think great thoughts
the purity of fresh pure white snow

a day to do whatever came to mind

thankfulness for a warm, tight abode

birds flocking to feeders a hundred at a time

the joy of spending time with my beloved

dazzling white savanna and prairie

quietness and simplicity

a sense of the greatness and power of God my protector. provider, and Saviour

the intricate patterns of drifts

delicate snow and intricate snow flakes

childlike joy and breathlessness on a snowshoe hike at dusk

smallness when observing power in the wind

a simplified landscape

the beauty of the Creation magnified

a day of peacefulness, joy, calm, and thankfulness

more reason to care for the Earth and its multitude of living forms

fullness and purpose for living

peaceful rest
