Living out on the prairie has some drawbacks during the cold and windy winter months. There are times when the snow drifts prompt me to look at housing closer into the city. Then there are times like today. As I drove up the road and into the driveway I was enamored at the beautiful color of the entire landscape. God’s handiwork was evident and plentiful.
Although my day at work was quite full with numerous appointments and meetings, a brief visit to the great outdoors was refreshing and relaxing. There is also a chance of viewing the “Northern Lights” in the nights ahead. That would be a phenomenon I would love to see. Typically, this is something that doesn’t get this far south. However, it is apparent that some atmospheric elements have lined up in such a way as to make it possible. I am hopeful that the clouds decrease and give us a glimpse at this beauty as well.
I want to invite you to read and reflect upon a couple of Bible readings. The first is from the Gospel of Matthew 6: 25–34. The second is from the Gospel of Luke 12: 22–34.
“For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” ~Luke 12:34
