When Winter Sparkles

This morning the woods were alive with light—ice catching the sun, branches shimmering like they were dusted with tiny jewels. Even the cold held beauty.

Morning of January 26, 2026

Below are two photos. Same place. One day apart.

January 25 (left) — a gray, wintry sky. Quiet. Cold. Everything was muted and still.

January 26 (right) — the sun returned, and suddenly the ice began to sparkle.

Nothing about the scene changed… except the light.

It’s a gentle reminder of how quickly perspective can shift, and how God’s creation carries beauty even in the cold.

Even in the coldest season, creation continues to testify. Beauty doesn’t disappear—it rests, waits, and glimmers when the light finds it.
