    I used to dread winters. I hated the ice and mud, we rarely get actual snow so everything was usually shades of brown and grey. Now as the years have become busier, i look forward to the winter. To me it is full of deep Shalom and rest, like our Shabbat’s. A time to rest and recoup, turning our hands to slow restorative crafts, knitting, crocheting, weaving, baking, and reading.❤

    I have no winter (south Florida) and sometimes , I miss it. I like to make soups and stews and read books that take place in winter, even though it's in the 80s all the time here. That way, at least I feel Like i have my own little 'winter ' . I am just starting to "pen pal ' and I encourage everyone to do so.

    Lea, so enjoy your videos. They're calming...while the world is not so much. They're inspiring...to be fed with God's Word, abide with the Father in all ways/doing all things, enjoy nature and its wee creatures, gratitude for even the simple pleasures. And, even, to get started on routine household tasks....who knew? May the Spirit guide you in the content you produce. And lead many to the foot of the cross. Bless you and yours.

    We look forward to winter here in AK. Even with its extreme cold, God has helped us see all the beauty and blessings that come with our very long cold season. So would enjoy learning a new home making skill, such a good suggestion. I’m not naturally creative and so sometimes it’s overwhelming knowing where to even start.
    We also enjoy how winter slows every thing down, and makes it even easier to hunker down and be a homebody:). Many blessings to you, and thank you for your letter! ❤

    Thank you so much, for your inspiring, encouraging messages. I'm thankful your Little House On The Mountain just popped up some time ago in my UA-cam list. With a lot of sounds and noise and things happening during the day, it's so welcome, to learn to live slower and enjoy the little things and take time to thank God for it. We live far from each other, but in our Lord Jesus, we are one. That's a wonderful thought. God bless you. Greetings from the Netherlands.

    I love your channel and fall, winter, spring. It is a struggle for me in the summer. Last year, I decided to find things to love about it, such as the clover lawn I put in for the bees. Mostly, I found joy in the early mornings and attempted to complete my outdoor tasks before noon. In this small way, I took mastery over the day. And, yes, on a really dreadful day of heat, I ran like a child and jumped in our pond. I am 66. It was a great treat.
    In winter, I love the cold snap on my cheeks and a 30 minute walk. It is addictive to me.

    The dark season is a time for slowing down life and self-reflection. After the crazy pace of life in the summer, it's so good to stop a little and put your thoughts in order, analyze your past year and make plans for the next year. This is the perfect December for me 😊

    Don’t you find it is just so easy to give in to the dreariness and feelings of melancholy? That is therefore such a lovely reminder by Laura Ingalls Wilder that you have to set your mind to enjoy something, and then you will. Maybe then it will become a habit as well. It is also wisdom to know your own limitations and work your way around it. I always look forward to these little visits with you. Thank you for inviting us into your cozy home. 🥰👒

    I'm really struggling with winter at the moment. I have an extreme case of chill blains on my hands, making them red, swollen, itchy, and burning. I've had chill blains since I was a child, but it was always on my toes and not as severe. It's making me wish for spring, but I know I should change my attitude towards the situation and make the most of every day. I'll try to apply your practices as far as I can.
