Warmth beside Me

When it is so cold that…

Your oatmeal gives up the ghost.

When it is so cold that…

The phantom footprints of your child’s friend haunt the front walk.

When it is so cold that…

Your child dresses like this…  inside the car.

When it is so cold that…

The car’s thermometer reads negative 23 degrees.

When it is so cold that…

Captain Morgan’s Egg Nog advice tastes pretty good.

That’s when your soul needs just a little boost.  An extra shot of warmth to keep it going.

As for me, I’m blessed beyond measure.  This morning during church, all that I needed was right by my side.

The smiles of my family looking back at me (some even adorned in Christmas Program costumes).  Enough to keep me warm through the winter and plenty busy until spring.
