Oh, the precious winter months and the fires that warm us through them. Being warmed by fire can be a part of a great awakening, of the cosmic kindness of all things working together for good. The earth, and sun, and all stars and humans are on a great stage, and God is our audience. What act shall we perform as our time on stage grows short? An act of worship-filled thanksgiving seems too small as we sit by a warming fire. Who, oh yes, Who could in Their wildest imagination, dream up fire and put it in wood? Our great King could and did, and like the much lesser king George II, we rise before Him and call him Blessed, for fire’s Hallelujah Chorus warms our old bones to stand on stage and perform for Him.
