Hi everyone, welcome to at home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest

privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every

week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement and I am just so glad

that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me.

Hi my friends, how are you? It's a Sally Clarkson and we just put to rest a weekend of Thanksgiving

and celebration and eating way too much food and I had so much fun. I hope you had a really

good and warm time with your family and with your friends on Thanksgiving and for those

of you who aren't American I hope you had a great weekend with your family and friends

and Oxford it's beginning to get a little bit colder the wind was blowing the other day.

The sun is starting to go down really early and so today I thought I would talk a little

bit about as I look ahead at what's coming up in winter and the cold of winter. How sometimes

a little bit of darkness can come over our hearts and minds and souls and there's a lot

to do and you're already tired. I don't know why but every single person I've talked

to in the last few days have all said you know I'm always tired and I think that cold

weather makes me tired and just the constant sea we've all been in whether it's in your

personal life or in your life as a mom your life as a family your life and work. It seems

to me that September to November it's kind of like a new year and so you're putting it

together new goals and new rhythms and new schedules and sometimes you're a little

bit weary by the time you get to December. So in the cold of winter seasons I'm going

to I hope encourage you today to find the light to light a candle to pursue things that

will give you rest and will give you strength and will give you resilience to keep going.

I had so much fun being with my family Sarah lives close here and most of you who have
