A different view

Sophie - March 1, 2009

Honestly, I've been a little tired of winter for the last month or so. All the gray has gotten to me; in fact, there was a three week stretch where it seemed like the sun didn't shine at all. So I've just been ready for some sunshine. Some blue. Some bright green. Something different than the gray.

But do you know what happened? This morning I woke up to the biggest expanse of gray I've seen in awhile, and it was glorious.

It's same tangled web of gray branches I've been looking at for the last two months, but this morning, thanks to a little snow, I saw them in a whole new way.

And I'm reminded that sometimes God gives us the tiniest shift in our circumstances to open up a completely new perspective.

Glorious.

That is my favorite thing about snow. If it doesn’t stick to the trees, it may as well not even exist. A little ice on trees is glorious too, just not to the point of breaking and killing people.

Thanks for the pictures!


We experienced the same thing last weekend, and you chose the perfect word to describe it: GLORIOUS! Thanks for sharing your photos!


“…sometimes God gives us the tiniest shift in our circumstances to open up a completely new perspective.”

Oh YEAH! Amen, friend, Amen!


Sophie, what a good word for me today. I really needed it. Just a simple sentence can mean the world. Love you, Patty
