A cozy talk with God
Snow was falling outside the window. It was Christmas Day. Grandpa had just made a fire in the fireplace. The presents had been opened, and we’d just had a Christmas lunch with my favorite—pizza bites! Sounds cozy, right?
Except I wasn’t feeling so warm and fuzzy. It was too icy to go outside, and my whole family was sitting around in one room. I felt annoyed with my sister and tired and crabby from listening to my dad’s and uncle’s long sports stories. What had happened? Minutes ago everything was fine. Now I just wanted Christmas Day to be over.
