The days have begun to get shorter, the days are getting darker earlier, and there’s a chill in the air most mornings.
It reminds me it is time to get out my burnt orange pot and begin to make some soup. Making a pot of soup does more than provide dinner.
The process is comforting, bringing peace to my heart and mind.
The water boils with the bones from a leftover chicken. Dropping in the seasonings and the bay leaf are done without measuring as no pot of soup is ever quite the same. Yet each pot brings the same nourishment to both body and soul.
Once the aroma fills the house, it truly is better than any candle.
It brings a sense of accomplishment as I know my family will enjoy each bowl of warmth and goodness. Those scraps of bones actually became something wonderful and appreciated.
Isn’t that just the way it is with some of the unpleasant and unwanted circumstances in our lives?
We seek to avoid the discomfort, we want to trash some situations that we are just done with and over.
But God …
He has permitted those very circumstances into our lives for purposes beyond our understanding.
I hope you will join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE. Let’s think about how God may just be bringing something good in His time and in His way?
