magical snow day

It's just the loveliest day.
Snow gently falling, carols playing, lights shining.
Hot cups of tea.
Birds busily hovering around the feeders, so much life!
It's warm in here and I'm so grateful for a quiet December day.
Cleaning up remnants of a lovely Christmas gathering with dear friends from last night.
Resting, reading, praying.
Thankful.
Tonight we celebrate Dad's 87th birthday.
Let this be the day of favour of our God in his life.
Let this be the day of revelation and salvation.

Breathing, praying, tears, joy, gratefulness, longing.
It's all tangled together in this thing called life.
