We just went from a day of 70 degrees to ice storms. Texas keeps you on your toes.
Last week we had the grandchildren over and I took them for a walk. I asked my granddaughter if she saw any flowers and the answer, of course, was, “No.” We kept looking but only found a couple of dried out seed pods.
The morning after the ice storm hit brought another kind of “wildflower”. Outside my window is a mesquite tree and as the sun came up I noticed that it was incased in ice. It was beautiful. Looking out other windows I could see other trees around that looked the same.
Nature is capable of presenting beauty even in the most deadly situations. I was not going to go out and contemplate the icy branches. Looking from afar was enough but I am constantly awakened to the creative variety that God has given us in our world.
