Good Tuesday morning! We have more cold and more snow this morning; it's really winter here! I pray that the cold and snow makes our hearts just that much warmer for Christmas. Looks like several schools have already called it off for the day. However, the e-mail must go on, snow or no! Heh, heh, that's kind of lame. How hard is it to sit in a warm house and type on a computer? We should check into online classes for the little kiddles on snow days. I have my best go-to-school ideas after I'm done with schooling! Hmm, the cat is trying to sneak into the devotional typing this morning; must have something to do with the cold morning. Do you feel like cuddling up to something big and warm this morning? That sounds pretty good to me!
We have a conflict at this time of the year. On the one hand we have the short days of winter coming on. Dark in the morning and dark in the evening with work in between. We also face one of the colder parts of the year. Then, we have the Christmas season of joy and cheer. Is it any wonder that some feel torn in two at this time? Our body says sleep longer, slow down, stay in from the cold; our mind says get out, visit, be of good cheer. What are we to do?
Jesus came to be the light of the world. He also came to show us the difference between Himself and the world. The world is that part that argues for evolution, depresses us with less daylight, and tells us to hunker down in a cave alone. Jesus brings the light, joy, cheer, and good fellowship that we enjoy at this time. What better time than Christmas to see the truth of: "those living in darkness have seen a great light"?
Feeling a bit down because of the cold and darkness? Take a drive to see the Christmas lights. The new snow should make them quite the sight this evening!
