161. Hope in Winter

<p><strong>Out of the Ordinary Winter Reflections:</strong></p> <ul> <li>"Making friends and family comfortable is an art." What do you want people to feel when they enter your home? It's okay if there's chaos, we're talking about the heart of your home...in the ordinary and in the crazy!</li> <li>Winter is either your season or it's not. It can linger on or we can find some ways to find the joy in the middle of the cold and bitter winds.</li> <li>There just might be hope that's coming in the next season. There just might be new wine that comes out of the grief.</li> <li>Lisa-Jo is reading from "And The Greatest of These" from <a href= "https://bookshop.org/books/the-jubilee-poems/9780692858646"><em>The Jubilee</em></a>, by John Blase</li> <li>Christie's is reading from <a href= "https://amzn.to/3GBu5i3">The Christmas Chronicles</a> by Nigel Slater.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Podcast links:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.blackbarnonline.com/">Click here</a> to join the conversations we have with listeners every week around the podcast. <a href= "https://www.blackbarnonline.com/">https://www.blackbarnonline.com/</a></p> <p>_______</p> <p>Sponsor appreciation: We're so grateful to partner with show sponsors that keep making our work possible.</p> <p><a href="http://www.betterhelp.com/ordinary">Click here</a> to join over 1 million people taking charge of their mental health through the online counseling offered by BetterHelp.
