Been praying over the weather report, Lord...
Of course I'm praying that tomorrow's storm
will be less severe than predicted...
And I'm praying that the homeless
find shelter from the wind and snow,
a warm place to stay, dry clothing
a bed for rest and a good hot meal or two...
And I'm praying that the plow platoons
will be safe in their work,
making streets and highways safe for us...
And I'm praying that not too many
will lose power and that those who do
will have it restored sooner than rather than later...
And I'm praying for first responders
who keep and rescue us from harm and fire
regardless of the depth of drifts...
And I'm praying that pretty soon, Lord,
we'll all find something more to talk about
besides the temperature,
Fahrenheit and Celsius...
But most of all, Lord,
I'm praying we might finally learn
to focus on you as on the weather,
on your will as on the whiteout,
on your word as on the winter,
and on your wisdom as on the wind chill factor...
And should the storm bring a day off, Lord,
help us find some time,
some dedicated time to spend with you,
out on a walk or sitting by a window,
wondering at the beauty of your power
revealed in every solitary flake
and in drifting dunes, pure white,
asparkle with your grace...
Amen.
