This might be a good day to stay inside. It’s cold outside. For those of us privileged to be retired or working from home, we need to thank God we can stay inside. Baby, it’s cold outside!
Let’s think about sending cards and letters to people we’re thinking about. Let’s read a book of scripture, maybe James, which tells us about brotherly love. How about reading a book or more than one chapter of a devotional.
My favorite today is turning off the news broadcasts. There is nothing but a litany of murder, chaos, mayhem, and controversy. Instead, cover our country, our neighborhood, our church congregation with prayer. Let’s bathe our policemen and women with prayers of protection. And yes, let’s pray, as we are told in scripture, for our country’s leadership, that they will rule righteously, they will protect the innocent, that they will support the innocent, and that they will, wouldn’t it be wonderful?, read and follow the ten commandments which deal with our relationship to God and to man.
And, at the end of the day, let us rejoice that we have had a day filled with grace, peace, mercy, love, and thanksgiving for the time we’ve spend on positive thoughts and actions during the day God has given us.
