Sometimes I will end the day with thoughts that are
important to get out. Usually I just
write them and put them in my journal folder.
I have chosen that on occasion I will share them with you Dear Reader.

It put me in mind of how accustomed I have become to the
cold and snow. Three inches of snow is
nothing to me and it shuts down Atlanta.
It is not a matter of anything other than being accustomed to it. The hardships we know become the hardships we
can handle.
This pushes me to think that if I see all my difficulties in
light of this that I can become better and handling them. If I see the unusual problems as simply
things to which I am not used but problems that can be handled then I can do
better. I can be more faithful and
follow Christ more carefully.
I care about my friends who are unaccustomed to the frigid
weather. I hope they are safe and
warm. I would please me if they knew
that their brief discomfort has given me a new insight into how I can follow
Christ more closely.
Wishing you joy in the journey,

who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store."

Snow is not the issue this time. It is the fact that our Govt knew this was coming and made no preparations whatsoever. People are still out on the Highways in bumper to bumper traffic, running out of gasoline. My friends husband has been attempting to get home for 8 hours. Another has stopped at a restaurant because the traffic is still so bad. He has been I traffic for seven hours. The issue is we knew it was coming and our county and city govts did nothing.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I think you missed the point. We cannot blame the government for people choosing to be out when they were warned that this was coming. I feel compassion for those impacted by the weather but I have been in that situation and know that I made the choice to do so. Further my point was that we handle the problems we are used to but that I must be vigilant to handle the ones I am not used to with the same faith and grace.
