wakened by kindness

About a week ago, on the 1st or the 2nd, I realized that we hadn't had any snow yet where I live.  We had a light dusting a few weeks ago, but it melted the same day.  I'm really nostalgic--Christmas lights, snow, caroling, etc., so I was really hoping for a white Christmas.  I decided to pray about it; you know, one of those silly little prayers that you pray sometimes, thinking in the back of your mind that it's too small a thing for the Lord to really care about it.

Well...look outside.

Down in the human heart, crush'd by the temper,

Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;

Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness

Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.

Fanny Crosby
