Throw A Blanket On.

Winter has settled in. So have we. Christmas is over; the late night New Years is a faint memory for those who stayed up long enough to see the old year out. Life now settles as well. No more running around. No gifts to buy, now urgency in our lives. Winter has a habit of doing that to most of us. So, sit back and wait for the arrival of the first Snowbells.

For the adventurous ones, there are outdoor sports and some even love the thought of making snow angels.  Let’s face it, a hot mug of co-co, while sitting in the easy chair, watching reruns on tv fills most of our long dark night. Might I add that we already have almost an hour more of sunlight.

Other than in our physical world, we have long dark nights in our life as well. Not ones dictated by sunrises and sunsets, just long dark nights when we feel cold and all alone. You can feel this in your easy chair just as well in a crowded movie theater. There is no one reason to experience this dark night before the dawn. There are lots of reasons, and each of them, just as important as the rest.

And sometimes it’s just the way life is. We sit inside where it’s warm and cozy. Look out the front picture window of our homes and just think. Think about what was, what is, what could have been, what might of been and what will be. Sometimes we look at this time of year as the time to take a break and just relax from the frantic events of life. It feels so good.

It’s also that time when we can make up for lost time. Admit it. It’s been a while since you opened your bible and read about Jesus and how He changed lives. He still is in the life changing business you know. And His business right now it to change you. Open up the book and turn to the first chapter of John, begin to read and in your slower paced life, envelop your mind and heart in the heart of Jesus as He walked with everyday people like you and me and be changed.

Something to think about.
