Blue Journal # 5 - Shhhh - Don't Say the "S" Word

Oh, I wish very much to not mention the word "snow."  But, I'm afraid that I must.  You see, it is such a very big and dangerous thing that is lurking right outside the window.

The snow is beautiful and awesome........a magnificent snow this time!  I would love it very much, but every news person on the television has driven one idea into my mind this entire day....this snow storm is a very dangerous thing.

I know that this is true.  But I am just not accustomed to feeling threatened by the world that surrounds me, right outside my door.  But, right outside our door tonight lurks an awesomely beautiful, hostile world.
I know that with one misdirected gust of wind, our life sustaining power can vanish and we would have to seek a safe, warm place. And would it be possible to find one.. or .to reach that safe haven?

It has made me think, really think about the safe world that I fail to appreciate every day.  Tonight I think about the millions of people in this world who must live everyday with a hostile world outside their doors.
I must give thanks every day for my usual safe world, and pray that everywhere on this planet, someday,
all God's children can know that peace.
