The snow is falling very gently just now. May it remind us to be gentle with ourselves, especially in moments of discouragement or uncertainty. Gentleness can change everything.

Our outer situation may be the same, but when we turn to ourselves with deep acceptance and cherishing, it shifts our inner world. May we remember to breathe deeply today, sending kindness to one another. May we find ourselves together in the presence of Jesus, who is "gentle and humble in heart" and who brings rest and refreshment to our souls.
