Temperatures rise and the snow begins the slow drip,
creating slush banks on the verges and on the paths. Dampness and dirt. Boggy traps
to ensnare the unwary driver.
What was pristine the other day has turned grey, dirty. What
could be fashioned into igloos and snow princesses puddles on the drive and on
the grass as it slips and slides off the roofs and bushes. Killer icicles give
way and impale whatever lies beneath.
I lift my eyes to the hills, and the snow there appears
clean and white. I lift my eyes to the hills, and am reminded of God’s purity
and love. I lift my eyes to the hills with gratitude that because of the love
and sacrifice of Jesus, I am seated in the heavenlies with him today, and I can
share his perspective.
I lift my eyes to the hills, and commit this dirtied world
into his loving care, grateful for his promise that he never leaves nor forsakes
us, and that as we lean into him, he inspires our spirits and renews our minds.
The sun is out and it’s a beautiful Monday. (Just not
underfoot…)
