TAKE HEART

     Take heart. It’s cold out. The furnace has been cranking all night and the humidifier isn’t working. Throats are dry, lungs becoming congested. Sunrise is still 2 hours away.
     And yet, here we are as always, waking up to the new day, lit up by an inner light that propels us ever onward, toward each other, toward God. Our gentle souls are always here, speaking to us, encouraging, warming us when it is cold.
