We have welcomed the relief of such changes. Sometimes, the prospect of change is a threat. Often we fear change because we are not sure what change will be required of us. We are uncertain that we will be equal to the task that lies ahead. For some, any severe change can result in disaster.
Some people lack the financial resources to pay for increased heating costs required to keep warm.
For others, the lack of a warm coat or an extra blanket is a significant threat to comfort. This kind of situation affords the opportunity to reach out to someone in need. As we end the holiday season, we should be glad if we have an extra blanket or a warm coat. If we have more than one, we can share with someone else. The opportunity to bless another human being is something else to be glad about.
