What is it about February that makes it seem the length of two months in one? We often seem caught in that pace of rushing here and there, finding more things to get done, cleaning up, and paying for past holidays. Perhaps God gave us the month of February for a little built-in reflection time. There’s usually soft white snow, a more hushed atmosphere outside, nothing special to prepare for. Even nature seems to slow down in February. Perhaps God is calling us to gaze at snow and see the pureness with which God loves us, to listen to the silence and hear God’s voice, to put away the to-do list and take some time to simply be, and be with God. Sometime this month make a cup of your favorite beverage, sit in your favorite spot, and invite God for a chat. You may be surprised at how much there is to talk about.
