Bathing in His Presence

Author: Hannah • Discussion: No Comments
On cold days like this, it is sooooo difficult for me to warm up.  Sometimes, if I drink something warm, like hot cocoa, it’ll warm me from the inside out.  Give me a little relief….for a little while.  But, what I find to be the MOST effective is taking a hot bath.  Soaking every part of my body, from head to toe in a bit of liquid heaven on earth 🙂  I feel the warmth seep into my frozen fingers and toes.  And, soon, I’m enveloped in warmth I could only attain through complete immersion!!
