December 18

I've been really tired this week. I feel like I blinked and bam, there's only a week until Christmas. What? How did that happen? Anyway, as I was reflecting on the fact that I didn't really outwardly sense God today, I looked down at my feet and remembered my new slippers:

I bought them last week at Costco after our recent cold snap left my hands and toes freezing much of the time. They work really well -- they're nice and warm and snuggy.

And, as odd as it sounds, they remind me of how God says He holds us close to Himself.

Even when I don't really feel God, it's nice to have those cozy slippers to generate warmth and by extension, remind me that He is indeed there.
