A beautiful morning is here, just a different kind of beauty. Ice and snow castles are forming along the shore line. Waves are slapping the shore which seems to have extended to a football field away. Meanwhile conditions on the mainland continue to be the same with natural disasters and manmade misery. Dictators are persecuting believers who are willing to die for their faith. Such strength is immense. Many of us have been blessed. We need to give back for all the gifts we have received. We have made many promises and have kept only a few of them. It is so easy to make errors and then be blasted for them. We may forgive the blasters and ourselves. We look for new beginnings, thinking of those who only have one chance. Our good fortune brings with it responsibilities. We must prepare ourselves to step up and be accountable. Our love for Jesus must be exemplified by our love for others, including the least of these, my brothers. Then we may be a little more at peace with ourselves, a little more like the gentle summer waves than the frightful winter blasts. Steve Haarman aka Stanski December 24, 2021 ^
