Sparkle Anyway

Yet another storm blew in this morning, adding more snow and moving the old snow sideways. A neighbor told me that she's lived here 30 years and has never seen a winter like this one. Hubby has certainly plowed more snow this year than he ever has in the eight winters we've been here. 

Regardless of season, jet stream, and latitude, storms happen. Cold fronts of fear, stinging winds of conflict, downpours of discouragement, heavy drifts of hurt happen.

But this photo of Sparkle, one of my most effervescent cows, fairly shouts, Don't let the storm snuff out your sparkle!

"Restore the sparkle to my eyes." ~Psalm 13:3 (NLT)
