It’s cold out there, campers!
If you’re on social media for more than five minutes in a good part of the United States today, everyone will be commenting on how cold it is, combined with expert opinions about what to do about it:
Close schools!
Fight climate change!
Buy doggie sweaters!
But what if the weather snap is an opportunity? Michael Hyatt, one of my favorite bloggers, invites us in these less-than-desirable situations to ask:
What does this make possible?
Is it gratitude? (For a warm house or on-call plumbers to fix your heat.)
Is it family time? (Because of cancelled or delayed school or work.)
Is it prayer? (For those who work in this weather, for the homeless.)
Or is it something else?
Bundle up.
