This photo was captured while visiting Sedona, Arizona with my family at Christmas. It was unusual to have snow, particularly the amount received which allowed our visit to be unique but extremely frigid!

The isolated and seemingly desolate weed surrounded by a bitter cold landscape reminded me of how we sometimes feel alone and overwhelmed in our own circumstances. As we look for hope and encouragement to weather these times this passage stuck out while reading with the promise that we are never alone or abandoned.
