00:00Okay, so if you can wrap your mind around this, winter does not technically start until

00:09December 21st.

00:11Even though I know this, it's still hard to remember considering that like Christmas celebrating

00:16starts- the stores have stuff out even right after Halloween.

00:21But there really is this transition period after Thanksgiving as we're moving into Advent

00:26that kind of slows down where we can, yeah, basically transition into a new season.

00:31And what that looks like will be different for every person.

00:33There really is something in nature that speaks to our souls with the trees losing leaves,

00:39everything kind of becoming silent and bare.

00:41So here's a prayer for winter to help you start off the season.

00:46Lord, in the midst of winter when the days are cold and wind can pierce, remind us of

00:52the warmth of your love.

00:54In the midst of winter when days are short, dawn comes late, and dusk arrives early, remind

01:01us that in the darkness your light still shines.

01:06In the midst of winter when the flowers of spring still lie hidden in the earth, when

01:11leaves are off the trees and the world can seem bleak, remind us that Easter is but a

01:16short time away.

01:19And when in our lives we feel as if we are experiencing a season of winter, reach out

01:25to us with the power of your resurrection so that we may feel the warmth of your love

01:31and see your light that alone can take away the darkness of our soul.

01:35Amen.
