Warmth

Can’t listen at high volume without tearing up. A few hymns are getting that way. Can’t hear them in church with the booming organ without them hitting you hard – in a good way.

Tomorrow is going to be hard.

There are so many other concerns you have going on now to take your mind off it. Maybe that’s for the best.

When you call out in despair, He always hears. Psalms 55.

Been filling your heart with the spirit on occasion when sadness and fear drive you to that point. Music gets loud. Feels so good. Deep breaths push out of the lungs and you feel embraced by the Holy Spirit.

Nasal congestion appears. Gets fought off. Everything changes. Booming hymns. Choir. Organ. Fireplace.

He’s not going to solve any problem for you. That’s your job. But through trusting in Him you can meet any challenge.

So trust Him. Breathe it in. Understand things as they are. Miss the way they were a year ago. But take comfort also in that the year before that? Was December 2020. Things can fall apart in a year. But wow can they also be put together in one also.

Hymns. By the fire. With Ted. Feels rejuvenating. Do more. Feel more. Heal more. It’s alright. Finish the year out strong as best you can.

Tomorrow will be brighter. At least one of them will. 🙂
