Heat

"Thank you mom" I heard as Ryan ran in the door from the school bus this afternoon.

"For what?" I asked.

"It's warm in here"

Yes, the arctic air has hit the bluegrass today in all it's splendor. The high is 30 and the wind is blowing. I'm not sure what it makes the wind chill, but it's cold to your bones when you go outside.

So today I'm grateful for something called heat. I am fortunate to be able to have a home to heat in this kind of weather. There are plenty of people who don't have a place called home that is warm. Their home is a box under a bridge or on the side of the street somewhere. Some may get a place warm to sleep at night at the Salvation army or a shelter, but have to leave during the day. Can you imagine if your power went off and you had no warmth? Imagine that 100 times worse and that's what those people feel.

So today, be grateful for your heat. For the warm home you get to come in to after being outside. Even if you've only been out from the garage to inside and felt the winter's chill, you have it so much better than some.

Some days it's just the little things.......
