Winter trees

Winter trees. In crisp air at dawn. Stark. Branches bare. Empty.

The fog drifts in.

As I walk in fading darkness, I think about friends and family members who are suffering.

Standing weary. In the fog of impossible circumstances. Living with ongoing crisis. Conflict. Some with never-ending pain. 

Cold and unrelenting winds whip through the lives of these loved ones.

And I ask how to pray. 

What is His way for trees in winter?

Immanuel: God with us

Christmas season. And I read through the Book of Isaiah. A chapter each day. 

At least, that’s the plan. But then comes Isaiah 6. 

And I don’t want to stop.
