Waiting

Well, I’m still waiting for that snow around here.  Some folks say they saw it, but it was just some flurries that didn’t stick around.  I’m ready for it.  Stocked up with food - including cocoa!  Bring it on Mother Nature!

      It’s snowing! ❄️  It’s sticking! ❄️ It's beautiful! ❄️


Although I grew up in hot Texas - rarely saw snow there - I have always had a fondness for the glistening white snowscapes.  Something about it tugs at my heart.  I can feel the cold out there, but also the warmth that is found indoors.  I sense a fireplace, crackling wood, with a kettle of coffee or hot cocoa.  It gives me hope that despite the bitter cold, the lack of nature’s green and blossoms, deep within the ground there lies the presence of tiny powerful seeds.  Something magical will awaken, we only need to patiently wait, and take care of what needs to be done in the moment.  Even if that is shoveling the snow!

I’m grateful for seasonal changes.  Endless cycles, they come with expectations, yet still captivate me with their wondrous beauty.  Mother Nature, thank you, God’s grace is surely a part of you.    Theresa M
