February 9

This weather has been crazy.  I don’t think the schools have had a full week in weeks!  I’m tired of shoveling and scraping and salting and freezing.  God, why can’t we get a break and have a few days of clear skies and 40 degree temperatures?  Then, I think of the pictures and interviews on TV of refugees from violence and of victims of abuse and … .  OK, God, I have food and people who care about me.  I mostly have electricity.  I have coats and gloves and boots.  I am safe.  Thank you, God, for all my many blessings.  Please keep my eyes open for the chances I have to help those without those blessings.  Amen.
