Tonight I am listening to the sleet coming down...and I am reminded to be thankful for a warm home with electricity and all the luxuries that many Americans have. Yet each night on the news the reports continue to come in regarding others who have lost their jobs. So many at this time of year are struggling to make ends meet, to provide for their family, and to have something under the tree for their children. I have to ask myself why am I so fortunate? I don't know the answer, but I do know that I am thankful.
It is winter, but inside of this home there is a warm glow of grace and love. As long as the light glows from within, I will do my best to help others. This Christmas, I have shared my blessings with others and have found that I find joy in giving away that which I have giving meaning to the saying: tis better to give than to receive.
My prayer is this: that I continue to have opportunities to help those around me. And even more, that I may see the needs before the opportunity has passed me by.
I love winter, and the weather that comes with it...for stolen days inside of the house, to reflect and to write.
