Daylight Scripture – God pours frost, like salt, upon the earth, and when it freezes it has pointy thorns.  A cold north wind will blow, and ice will freeze on the water; it will settle on every pool of water, and the water will put it on like armor.

Sirach 41: 19-20

Daylight Prayer – Lord, some days are glazed with beauty, cold, stark and life threatening. It is on those days that I realize the blessings that you give me; warm home, warm food, warm love. You surround me in the midst of the ice, with the homey fire of your Holy Spirit. I am most blessed. Selah!
