Come on folks it's Christmas... stop looking at blogs and go off and have a Merry Christmas with family, friends and the like!
Within all the tinsel I hope you find Christ's peace this Christmas:
I HAVE SEEN CHRIST
I have seen Christ
In the neglected face of an unloved boy;I have seen Christ
In the gentleness and faith of an old man;I have seen Christ
In the quick hands of a nurse
Who knew I needed her before I asked;I have seen Christ
Born again in spirit
In the joyful song of a bright faced child;I have seen Christ
When my heart was breaking
In the compassionate eyes of a friend;I have seen Christ
In the forgiveness of a loved one;I have seen Christ
In the anguish of a mother
for her dying son;I have seen Christ
in a dustman and a doctor.God grant
That they may have seen Christ in me.~ Joan Rowbottom,
from "A Touch of Flame”,
an anthology
of contemporary Christian poetry
compiled by Jenny Robertson.

Wishing you a warm, loving and inspiring Christmas holiday!
There was a time when communities would seek counsel from the elders. More experience usually translated into lessons learned. Having picked up a pearl of wisdom here and there over the years, I am now able to share a thought or two. The main lesson is to never stop learning. Seeking other points of view and new ideas like visiting your blog are steps in the right direction. Finding what is ultimately important leads one to appreciate actuality, efficiency and mindfulness. Helping others to see some of the forest through the trees is its own reward. happy thoughts
