Why get jealous?
Have you ever opened your gifts at the same time during Christmas? Have you ever felt happy with the gifts you received until such time you found out you like what the others received more? I had those times, not only during Christmas, but in the course of life when I compared God’s gifts to me with those He gave to other people.
One Christmas however, in our traditional family get together, nobody got jealous. Everyone received the kind of gift that made them feel loved, special. It was then that I realized why we often don’t have the same gifts that other people have. It’s because we are special, and each is given a special gift that is theirs and theirs alone. Oh, if only we have eyes to see those gifts as God sees them, we’d know how great those gifts are, and we’d never exchange them for something else!

To prevent a clandestine attack using a secondary light supply becoming utilized to hold the detector in a ‘sealed’ situation whilst an intruder passes by way of,
most systems use and detect a modulated light source.
Although an intruder alarm panel may also have these detectors connected, it may possibly
not meet all the nearby fire code specifications of
a fire alarm method. When movement or vibration happens, the
unstable portion of the circuit moves and breaks the existing
flow, which produces an alarm.
