Conversation

In the stillness of winter, a woman sits in quiet reflection, her gaze resting on a brilliant red cardinal perched upon the evergreen branch nearby. The snow drifts softly around them, as though the world itself has hushed to listen. In this sacred pause, it is as if heaven leans close and conversation flows without words — a dialogue of hope, memory, and faith. The cardinal, often seen as a messenger of comfort, becomes a gentle reminder of God’s nearness, whispering that even in seasons of loss or solitude, His presence never departs. This moment, simple yet profound, embodies the truth that prayer is not always spoken aloud, but is often the quiet exchange between the heart and its Maker.

“The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.” — Psalm 145:18
