There are certain events that take place in our lives that tend to “Unite Us”. Some of these that come to mind are: worship service, weddings, loss of loved ones, family reunions, graduations, wildfires and sports. I pray that our recent/present extreme winter weather conditions will cause us to unite as well. Whether you are able to provide heat, food, clothing, shelter, money or other necessities, please do so out of love. One can never tell when or whom we will need in this life, so let’s continue to “Unite” and help those in need.

Reflections: Cold Weather, Warm Hearts:
*"Cold weather, warm hearts" is an expression that means people can still be kind and caring to each other, even when the weather is cold. It suggests that acts of generosity and compassion can bring warmth and happiness, even during difficult times. (Google Search)
*Continue to love one another. *GPigott*
