God..Strength…Wisdom…Grace

Words to keep etched within my being. Those three words after God are powerful! Those are given to us by Him and we realize it during winter months. Snow is cold, wet, and humbling. Why? Because it can be beautiful as it blankets the world. Neighborhoods become quiet and hushed-especially at night during snowfall. There is such a calm beauty everywhere. Then, during the morning rush hour, oh how humbling! Snow wreaks havoc on roadways and the same streets that were just ‘beautiful’ are now messy and sometimes problematic! Accidents occur, tempers flare, damages are apparent. Now is the time to practice that grace. Do we scream, yell, and curse? Or, do we bow our heads, say a quick prayer of thanks if no one is injured, and go on with the business of exchanging information with the other person? Grace is given by God, but we also have that ability! By not screaming and arguing we provide grace in an otherwise miserable circumstance. People react in so many ways, God help me channel You!

Lord, walk with me during these dark, bleak, winter months. Help me to show kindness even if it isn’t ‘deserved’. Amen
