Unconditional Grace

A Winter evening reflection on the graciousness of God

Photo mine, today’s afternoon snow outside my window

Floating down
     from Heaven
     from the hands of God.
With no restraints
it falls.

Silently 
     yet certainly
     on task to bless the world.
Directed to us
it falls.

Beautifully
     adorned in white
     with radiant sparkles all. 
Pure graces of delight
it falls.

We wait
     in the cold night air
     in crisp morning sun
with faith and hope.
It falls.

Beyond our sight
     of simple snow
     lie promises we dream
with every sigh.
It falls.

And if we doubt
the power of sparkles
     yet trust in who
     and where they came.
It falls.

No matter who
     or if or why
     God’s love is loosened
from the sky.
It falls.

Covering us
     with truth and hope
     and peace to know
He has us all.
It falls.
