Snow clings to the cattails and grass after a light January snowfall. The blue skies, fresh snow, and pure artic air make for a perfect winter day. Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all deeps, fire and hail, snow and mist, stormy wind fulfilling his word! Psalm 148:7-8 It's a great day to be alive.
Winter brings its beauty in the form of white snow-covered fields. The pure white landscapes of the Northland gleam with crystal snowflakes and hush the sounds of the countryside. Snow and clouds appear white because almost all sunlight reflects off the surface, with only a small amount of the visible spectrum absorbed. White also represents purity, things that are good, innocence, honesty, and cleanliness. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8
The warm light of a Lake Superior sunrise shines through the ice-covered rocks of the North Shore. The ice field extends 1/2 mile out into Lake Superior and is a gallery for reflecting and refracting light throughout the day. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined. Isaiah 9:2 Winter is a great time to relax and reflect on where we are and where we are going!
