THE NIGHT CAP
Right now, many Americans are
seriously questioning the advantages
of this Winter season.
What with high fuel costs and low
energy supplies, can there really be
any advantages?
We believe the answer has to be a
resounding yes. For instance...
In the year to come, we may learn
that we can indeed survive and with
a little bundling up, be fairly comfortable
at 65 degrees, where it always was 70
degrees before.
We are learning to shut off parts of the
house that are not in use. Closing doors,
using our fireplace more.
We are learning to pinch pennies, to
economize, shop for true discounts
and watch our budgeting more closely.
We are learning to pray more often and
more consistently.
(Disclosure: Yes, we pray daily, but not
prolifically. We could promise to do better,)
but our past history holds our for minimal
gains in this area--but its still on our wish
list.)
We learned a long time ago that the best kind
of night cap is the kind that is made of warm
cotton and fits snugly over the ears.
Cold winters have been around for many years.
But, so has God. He is The Man of all seasons.
He shall calm our winter storms and lead us
into Spring.
