Good will first, then peace on Earth
This past week a friend of mine lost her home to a fire. Her neighbors in the apartment complex lost theirs as well, and all of their earthly possessions were lost too. There is never a good time for a house fire, but it seems to me the holidays might be the worst time. Homes are filled with Christmas presents, decorations, and the air is filled with the excitement and expectations of Christmas. Then tragedy comes along and that Christmas spirit can be lost, replaced by a memory that will be forever hard to let go of down the road.
