For a change of pace this week, here is a short poem I just drafted while reflecting on the following thought.

Each one of the blessings God bestows upon each one of us every day is unique. The blessings He has given you today are new and different than all that He has give you in the days before. Because, while He is unchanging, what we need from day to day may change, just as the degree to which we may need it can fluctuate. And He knows our needs intimately.

Each One, Unique

Frozen crystal wheel, tiny, light, and

Delicate, yet razor sharp, dances through

Air: frigid-stiff with breezy hints. It lands,

Stabbing my glove’s fingertip like

A dart thrown with minute accuracy. I

Marvel. Each flake, inspected, proves

Design’s plan and blessing’s beauty. It

Melts under heat from my up-close

Breath, but not before I have remembered

To thank Elohim for this moment, for this

Gift that will never be exactly repeated. A

Frosty exhale forms, rightly filled with awe.
