Separated or divorced, rebuilding — The house has different furniture now and half the names are gone from your calendar.
Though the fig tree does not bud and no fruit is on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the fold and no cattle are in the stalls, yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation! — Habakkuk 3:17–18
Your life can look like a list of what used to be there. Habakkuk named his own empty shelves and still said he would rejoice. The joy does not wait for things to fill back up.
The fields are empty and the joy starts anyway.
Sit with your hands open and name one empty place in your life you are handing to God today.
Your season has its own reflection and 2 more practices every morning.

Empty shelves, full joy

“Though the fig tree does not bud and no fruit is on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the fold and no cattle are in the stalls, yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!”

Habakkuk 3:17–18 (Berean Standard Bible)
For the days when the house looks different and the calendar has fewer names. The joy does not have to wait for the fields to fill back up.
