February 3

It was cool but lovely today. As we walked home from school, I felt compelled to take a photo of the sky. So I did.

And then I promptly forgot to look at it until just now. And I was a bit startled by what I saw.

Yes, the clouds are a pure white and the sunlight is beautifully filtered through them. And yes, the blue sky is a perfect backdrop. But the little circle with the purple fan-shape around it? I have no idea what that is. It wasn't visible when I took the photo.

It could be a plane or a basic trick of light. It could be a speck of dust on my lens or maybe even the moon. It could even be Logan saying hello. But no matter what it is, its presence reminded me that it's important to be on the lookout for unexpected blessings in this life, because we never know when God will choose to surprise us with something special.
