A cold day on Icicle Creek
What does this scene say to you?
For some it doesn’t say anything but burr.
My hope is that it speaks to your heart of God’s glory. That you hear echoes of His love for us. That it reminds you of God’s perfection that He wants to share with us.
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world….
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19

Wow. Thanks, Steve.
It says to me, “Rest.” In these contemptuous, divisive times of fear your picture reminds me of Wendell Berry’s poem, “The Peace of Wild Things,” about the enveloping and amazing grace of God in creation…
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
(Matt. 6:26-33; Lk. 12:1-7)

The scene to me says “Peace” even in the cold, difficult seasons of life we can have peace with Him who is our Peace. Thanks for sharing this beautiful reminder
