It was -35° yesterday evening. The brightness of the lights began to fluctuate around 11 PM and at 11:30 the electricity went out altogether. I started a fire in our wood stove (which doesn’t look quite as nice as the one in the picture) and we entered 2022 to its warm glow.

The electricity came on again shortly after 1 AM and we got some sleep, and some more through the day. We made it through that little crisis, I trust the Lord will have a way for us through all the crises that we will face in 2022. We look forward to good times, but crises are a part of life, too.

Happy New Year to all who read this. May you trust in God and have a thankful heart to help you through all the highs and lows this year may bring.
