God of Creation,
Thank you for the beauty of a winter day. For the snow as it falls, spreading a white sheet of quiet and calm to world around us.
Show me your blessings in the snow.
In the cold and stark beauty.
In the opportunity for a different routine.
In the icy joy of snowballs and sleds.
Surrounded by the cold of winter, and the danger of the storm, be with travelers, workers, police and other first-responders, and all who must be out in the weather.
Keep them safe and keep them warm.
Amen.
