The cold air creeps in
the sky darkens
days grow shorter
swallowed by the night
as autumn makes way
for winter’s quiet stillness
and in that quiet stillness
we are invited to slow down
to rest and reflect
to cherish the warmth
of a fire or a friend
fighting off death’s chill
together
~Robert Vam Valkenburgh
Reflection:
Where is God inviting me to slow down, rest, or seek warmth in the companionship of others during this season of stillness?
Scripture:
“In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” — Isaiah 30:15
