Winter Solstice

Today is the winter solstice. The sun rises at 7:45 and sets at 4:45. Tomorrow it will again rise at 7:45, but it will set at 4:46! After today, every day will be longer until June 22.

I would like to celebrate by taking my daughters out to lunch, but one may not be able to break away from work and the other may have plans with friends. Even if I don't go out, I'm celebrating now by taking note of the day and praising God for being a God of order and progression who is sovereign over time and the changing seasons.
