Strong wind and heavy rain have indoors feeling especially cozy on this Saturday afternoon. I'm about to start making a pot of stuffed peppers, and this adorably scraggly little tree on the farm table makes cooking a meal all the merrier. We plan to watch a Christmas special after dinner alongside a roaring fire. The power's out, but the generator's on; and thankfulness abounds!

But look! A king will rule in the right way, and his leaders will carry out justice. Each one will stand as a shelter from high winds, provide safe cover in stormy weather. Each will be cool running water in parched land, a huge granite outcrop giving shade in the desert. Anyone who looks will see, anyone who listens will hear.
— Isaiah 32:1-3
