For those of us in the Northeastern part of the United States, the threat of snow Saturday night into Sunday is causing us to rush and prepare for an undetermined period of "hunkering down." When the rush is over and the snow lays siege to our homes, we might use that time to ponder how good God has been, just yesterday, the past week, or over our entire lives. How often do we arise in the morning, facing "impossible tasks" and then go to bed at night with all or most of them done? As we look ahead to the last week and a few days before Christmas and all that we "have to do", we could make ourselves sick. Yet, we know that come Christmas, all that worry and concern will be gone and tasks either done or not done, will no longer matter. It's in these ever repetitive ways that God shows us that he is here with us and considers even our long "to do" lists something that he can take care of. Do we need three supernatural visitors as did Ebenezer Scrooge to wake us into the reality that God cares? If we stop and ponder, we'll see that as the hairs of our heads are counted, so are our tasks and worries. God, in his goodness, will not let us be crushed by them.
