…Oh, it is well to waken with the woods
And feel, as those who wait with God alone,
The forest’s heart in these rare solitudes
Beating against our own.
Close-shut behind us are the gates of care,
Divinity enfolds us, prone to bless,
And our souls kneel. Night in the wilderness
Is one great prayer.
excerpt from “Midnight in Camp” by Lucy Maud Montgomery

This is so perfect and beautiful as I have many days in solitude lately. At times it is depressing as there is not much sunshine. But, then I think on the words that Jesus says in His word…”I will never leave you, nor forsake you” He is my sunshine in the darkness of Winter!!! I appreciate your writings!! May you be blessed!!
