We can live in this world while not being of this world. We can appreciate the good things in this world, while brushing aside what is not.
We can help while not being caught up in an endless cycle of problems all around us. Temporary help is important, but more important is showing the way to the Creator of that help, to Jesus.
This world is fading away. Our bodies are breaking down. Our life is a flicker. If we focus too much on what is temporary, we will lose focus on what is eternal.
We are physical beings and we have physical needs, but we are also spiritual beings and spiritual needs should not be neglected.
Our main focus should not be on the physical, but the spiritual. And when it is we can live in a physical world and walk in the Spirit.
Set yor affection on things above, set your sight on Heavenly things, focus and work for Gd and the Kingdom of God, what is coming, not what is fading away.
"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ Who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
Colossians 3:1-4
Stay strong! Even while you live in this life, keep your focus on the eternal.

Slow Warm Up
This morning was -11°F and our high was 7°F, as it is already dropping. That is a big difference from last week, but still a very slow warming from bitter cold to cold.
But it does make quite an impact on indoor warmth. It does not take nearly as long to warm up now, compared to then. But since the house got so cold, it takes a while for all those far corners to warm up.
With the warmer temps the wood stove is having an easier time warming the place. As it is a wood cookstove, it doesn't have the heat output of a woodstove made to heat a home, but it still does a good job.
The garage door we basically use as shutters, was finally able to be pulled up yesterday, allowing us to look out our beautiful, large window again. Light poured back into our home. It was just too cold to pull the garage door up the past week, even if to meant it stayed darker inside.
Indoor warmth is impacted quite a bit once it stays above zero for more hours of the day.
But it still seems a slow warm up back to non-frigid temps, according to the forecast. But that is only their guess. February can be even more unpredictable than January when it comes to weather.
I take heart that no matter what the weather does, or doesn't do, that Jesus will be here with us in it and through it.
If we do get into the 20's by the emd of the week, that should feel utterly amazing!
Stay strong! Let any changes for the better be an encouragement to you, even if they are small ones.
