February begins with a storm. Prayers for warmth and safety.

I looked out the windows a few moments ago and saw how each is its own painting, with unique patterns of snow designs in different shapes.  I also think of how wildflowers grow naturally in fields and our perennial gardens.

Isn’t it amazing to think of the flowers sleeping beneath the cold snow and how they will bloom once again?
