too bad i live in a state where fireplaces aren't needed. well, actually, i take that back. i have yet to turn on my heat for money saving purposes and it gets pretty cold at night. space heaters usually work but i've vowed not to sleep with one running because my mama thinks my house will burn down.the cupola fireplace would be perfect. no chimney? no problem. it is kind of expensive...but i've also never priced out fireplaces so there's a chance a real fireplace (chimney and all) would be much more. and no chance of your draperies being set a blaze! neato!
on another note--and quite appropriately--i am very thankful that i have heat to turn on if i please. being a pretty cold-natured person, i can't imagine what it would be like to have no heat or shelter at this time of year. there are many people who do without, but thankfully, we can help. a co-worker recently shared this website with me: http://www.wishuponahero.com/
if you can make it through without a small heartbreak, then you've got some issues. after reading through about 12 pages, it became so overwhelming seeing how many people are unable to provide thanksgiving and christmas for their family. some only need cards, stocking stuffers, and prayers, which i'm sure anyone can help with.
next time you think you're having a crappy day, read what some of these people have written. i encourage everyone to help out at least one person in some way--the problem is chosing which one!
Matthew 25:40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
