\"snowing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today is the first \u201csnow day\u201d of the season for our local school students.\u00a0 The snow began today at around 4 AM.\u00a0 You may not at first think this is a topic related to chaplaincy.\u00a0 I assure you it does relate.\u00a0 First, parents of children still need to report to work.\u00a0 So sometimes this means their children are self-supervised instead of being supervised by the school they attend while the parents are away from home.\u00a0 Second, snow has a magnetic attraction for children.\u00a0 They want to play in it doing things like making snow men, making snow balls, and sledding.\u00a0 While these activities can be done safely sometimes injury does result.\u00a0 Sledding is probably one of the activities that bring up the most accidents.<\/p>\n

I had dealt with anxious parents who rush from their place of employment to the hospital to see how their child is doing.\u00a0 Someone either from home or the hospital has called them to say their child is in our Emergency Department being treated for a sledding accident.\u00a0 The look of relief on the faces of the parents as they see that the injuries their child received have only been minor always touches my heart.\u00a0\u00a0 This is a display of the love a parent has for a child in its purest form.\u00a0 So today on our first \u201csnow day\u201d I offer anyone out in the snow to be careful and avoid injury.<\/p>\n
