The people who can't pay their power bill or gas bill are cold....
The people who can't afford to fix their broken windows, broken doors, caved in roofs and cracked walls are cold....
The people who live in their car are cold....
The people who carry all of their belongings around on their back and have no home are cold....
The children who are home alone while their parents are out all night and can't operate the thermostat, find a blanket or a warm pair of pajamas are cold...
The children whose parents haven't gotten them a coat this year, and probably can't or won't, are cold....

Suddenly, being in my 69 degree house, wearing pants and a sweatshirt, snuggling under a blanket..... I am not so cold. Not even the slightest bit. My heart is humbled and I am thankful. I pray that I never take something as simple as warmth for granted.
