Snow comes down, slowly, gently
Covering what was… with what is
Snow makes beautiful what was mundane, marred
Covering what was… with what is
The blessed covering, the quiet, the peace

“Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.” – Psalm 32:1
It happened seemingly all at once. The sky darkened, the wind pushed the tree limbs horizontal, cold rain slashed the windows, howls screeched around our almost 100 year old house. Quick fear, followed by a quick prayer. The verse that brings so much peace came to mind….Be still and know that I am God.
These days of 2020 have produced so much panic and change, that even a benign cold front can make me freak out for a moment. But God. But God. That is what keeps me going, keeps me stable, keeps me at peace. He never changes or panics or leaves. He is God. I just have to be still.
Moments later, the sun is out, the rain has stopped. All is well.
Love, Lisa
Biking wildly down the road, wind on your face, worries behind
Standing at the turbulent shore, waves crashing, wind howling
Skate edges find ice, flying easily, cold fresh wind on your face
Holding on to balance atop a tall mountain, wind buffeting, mind cleared
The cleansing wind

Hanging heavy in the sky above
The dense white cloud gives up its rain gently, effortlessly
Falling upon the earth in a mist, in softness
Barely touching the skin like a blanket of water and air
Sky and earth together

Sure wish we had a strong drawbridge about now, or an ark would do fine also. Multitudinous amounts of rain forecast here over the next few days.
Stay safe and dry in your castle. Slainte, Lisa
