Memory Verse: Isaiah 40: 1- Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

Intro: “Have It Your Way” (Burger King)  - As cooler weather approaches and the winter eases into our doors I like to lounge by the fire after a hot shower.  I love to make soups that are brimming with a rich and full flavor.  In our home there’s nothing better than a hot bowl of soup or and a hot cup of coffee or cocoa on a cold winter night.

Assignment: Tell us all about how your have “your” relaxing time, more especially how during the cooler months you take time to curl up with your favorite movie, book, Bible study, and what your favorite warm drink would be.

Two answers come to mind when considering this assignment. 

1.  I love to cuddle into a freshly made bed (clean sheets, plump pillows, and cozy quilts) with a wonderful book to read.  I can hear the blowing winds outside but it feels so cozy and restful snuggled beside my dh while I read.  Ahhhh! Relaxation.

2.  My second favorite thing to do in the winter is to knit while dh reads out-loud.  We snuggle on the couch under a favorite quilt, sipping tea or cocoa, while my needles click-clack, dh reads and we discuss the book together. 

Both of these activities always leave me feeling refreshed and ready for a good long sleep.  It seems odd that my mind is so engaged in each of these activities.  I've never been much of a "bath-tub" person because it seemed like a waste of time...yes, I'm a "doer".  I'm so glad God has created us with such differences.
