Never Cold

What a winter! It's brutally cold just about everywhere. I know winter is suppose to be cold but right now it's colder in Rusk, TX than it is in Bellingham,WA....what's that about??

All the talk about cold got me to thinking about how blessed we are in America. We can plug in the electric blanket, stoke our fire place, put on our long johns and parkas. We can plow the roads, salt the highways and shovel the walks. We may mumble and mutter but our spirit pushes us forward. Storms come, temperatures drop and we move forward.

Meals on wheels are still being delivered. Blood is still being donated. The sick are still being cared for in the hospitals. Rescue missions are still taking people in and giving out blankets and vouchers. Activity may be slowed but it is not stopped! Our land may be experiencing cold but the American heart is never cold!

Proverbs 4:23 tells us to guard our heart because it is the wellspring of life...Heart is what the American people are all about. They rise to the occasion whether there is difficulty abroad or at home, whether it's of nature or human nastiness. Good prevails because regardless of what skeptics may say, Americans know there is a God and they guard their heart never letting cold enter in.
