“The carpenter’s Son will take the nail and a tree made into a cross, and He will rebuild us and restore us and all we who are broken down will find shelter in grace and make the heart of God home. No wonder this time of year we haul trees into our homes. Lord God, restore the broken places in our homes today, in our country and this world. Build us strong in You.” – Ann Voskamp
