It was a magical morning, walking to Mass in the snow.
Afterwards, we had a minor snowball fight, just like children. It was a time for having fun.
Now, looking out at the darkness and constant snow, I feel as a grown-up wondering about the danger of icy roads.
Yet, deep inside each one of us is that little child, more aware of fun than danger.
Being childlike doesn't make us reckless, simply positive and able to handle awkward situations with care and laughter.
So, how do we handle the challenge of the present moment ?
We can look for a solution and play the game of life, or bemoan the hardships we have to endure.
Life without a challenge would make us weak and dull, whereas the person who embraces the 'cross' becomes a happier and better person.
Snowed in? Keep a shovel handy!
