Up in the night, warmed by my favorite patchwork quilt with yellow highlights. My first thought, “Tuesdays with Kay”, always makes me smile.
Memories in a warm stream of consciousness. A time for celebrating the newborn Child wrapped in swaddling clothes and held by His loving mother. Now the warmth of love Jesus offers us.
Winter get-togethers for family and friends needing a warm hug. Hot cocoa, chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven, and Kay’s famous wassail. The wood-burning stove on a brick “stage” in our cozy antique room in East Mill Creek.
A favorite sweater received on Christmas Day. Keeping warm while caroling at neighbors’ front doors.
Our first daughter, born in mid-winter, who warmed the hearts of three brothers, two parents, and four grandparents. (“My caregiver”, I call her now, with love.)
Expecting another January thaw with sunshine like last year. Come February, budding thoughts of spring and new life.
For now, with winter warmth, we can all do something to help Light the World.
