Night lights, little town

 

   5:31pm for this picture in the park. Pitch dark and brittle cold and frozen snow on the ground.  Red and I took a short walk anyway, dodging cars creeping on the narrow driveway.  We watched very young children play and celebrate all these conditions, lovingly protected by attentive fathers and mothers.  

     Thank you, Lord, for such a gift and the body that can still receive the impression.

    I ask You for relief for the myriad young ones and their parents who suffer in darkness and cold and lack of shelter.  Send your agents even now.

     Thank you for my loved ones, most of them far away, and let your blessings still rest on them.  Thank you for dear caring neighbors right in my town.  Lend strength to us all, IJCN.
