Day 27 January Days

It is a January day.

The air is clean and crisp. As the sun slowly sets before dinner I can hear the tree frogs peep-peeping their gentle calls. They are beckoning spring, although they know they must be patient. Winter is still in her glory.

I take my dogs on a walk down the street and see this lovely view. The trees are enchanting in their most vulnerable state.

It is quiet.

Across the pasture are the first buds of the jonquils peeking through. “Is it time?” they seem to be asking. Not yet, sweet jonquils.

I love the ordinary sweetness of January days. There is no holiday to rush us into busyness. We are happy and content to snuggle in our homes with those we love. We cook and eat, laugh and sleep. The trees send their roots down deep as their branches reach up and out – as if they are breathing. The look so peaceful.

I want to treasure up all the days and all the ways that God manifests his great goodness.

I am grateful for January days.
