This red is supposed to be happy this time of year. Red bows, red Santa suits, red candy canes, red Holly berries. Not something you want to see in your toilet bowl....my husband says he feels fine and yet we can’t deny this unexpected holiday hue. It will be weeks of test before we know anything...so sure let’s pile this on on top of Covid, and missed time with family, and economic struggles...I wonder if anyone has thought to ask God if he’d consider a ban on illness and death and strife for say two weeks in December? After all he knew to rest on the seventh day, surely some more time at year end is well deserved. Holidays are often tough enough, without additional tests of our mortality and one’s faith. Do we really need to tinker with free will as a test of humanness everyday? Would be nice if we all could just enjoy the calm, joy and peace of the season the carols hark unto us without having to prove anything for a few days....
