It is a cold start to winter
but the children relish it
so much that they play in
the snow and the
seven-degree temperature.
The wind is not blowing
which makes it less harsh.
I think of times when we
are offended and instead
of being like little children
and accepting it, we can
easily get bitter and become like
the wind making things worse.
We place ourselves above it
all as though we are perfect
and do not allow the same
for others. We are bold waiting
at the door for others to make
mistakes instead of waiting
for the Father to come knocking
and telling us that everything will
be alright and that we should
be observing the goodness in
others rather than looking
for evil. We have one life.
Shouldn’t we be looking for
joy for ourselves and others.
Let us keep them warm by
letting them know that we
care for their success now
when it is cold and always. Amen
