One Christmas season I came home from shopping and found glass on the floor in the living room. Someone had shot our window in front, and the bullet didn’t go all the way through…it just shattered the glass. I called the police to report it, and they showed up that night.
It was a cold night, and when they came in they seemed so surprised and amazed. The room was lit with Christmas tree lights . There were packages under the tree. A fire was blazing in the fireplace, The mantle was decorated with wreaths. Garvey was locked in the bedroom and he was whining to get out. One policeman sat down in John’s easy chair to fill out his report. They didn’t want to go back out in the cold world where most of the calls they got were bad.
I think they were reminded that there is a good world out there too.
