Imagining the distinctions in each snowflake that falls to the ground fills fills us with awe and then there is the coming together of all that diversity into ground cover which will ultimately allow for the new life of spring. God of us all, knowing the distinctions between every single one of your children and yet all that we share and all we are capable of together, let us continue to be filled with the wonder of the possible – possibilities for peace rather than war and violence, possibilities for health and hope rather than illness and despair, possibilities for love to counter fear. Be our strength as we celebrate our uniqueness as well as all that is alike. In your abiding love, we pray. Amen.
