Any shovelers with lower back soreness? Sometimes that is how life feels. Troubles and worries come floating down like snow and we have to dig out. There are different ways of dealing with our troubles. One is to go out by ourselves and have no help. When we have dug out of our troubles we can pat ourselves on the back for a job well done go back in the house or head out for work. Sometimes I go out shoveling when all my neighbors are out. We nod at each other and occasionally joke about the snow or tell snow stories from the past. Being out there together is lightens the load. On rare occasions we will not shovel our own area alone, but team up. We each do what we can at the pace we can. When the job is done we feel like teammates that defeated a tough enemy. For a few minutes we move from being acquaintances into being friends.
How do you deal with your "snow"? Sharing our troubles with one another is a part of being Christian. I hope each of us as a few people to go to when it really starts snowing. Let me know if there is any "shoveling" I can help out with.
Peace,
Pastor Keith
