Snowy New Year's Eve

Chicago Snow with Yellow Cab and Red Snowplow

It has been snowing since mid-afternoon.  The flakes in this photo, though, I added using Photoshop brushes. 

Whether you are having a snowy welcome to the new year or a sunny, tropical one, may it be amply blessed.  And may we all be attentive to what God desires for us in the coming months.  May we welcome with open hearts the peace and love of the Prince of Peace.

I am about to do a new thing;

now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?

(Isaiah 43:19)

Below is a picture from one of the fiercer storms of 2004.
