peace and joy and power

Spiritual resource to share: Christmas



Happy Christmas everyone!

It is 2am and I just got back from a large family gathering, where we all welcomed in the newest member of the family at 2-1/2 weeks old. In the bustle and happy noise, I held her as she slept and thought that even now, "Unto us a child is born." Have you ever felt this when looking into a newborn's eyes - such a deep and untamed calm?

Christmas is about holding that perfect child of hope and healing in our hearts, and nurturing it and watching it grow throughout the year. I wish for you all times for stillness, activity, spontaneous joy and laughter, lots and lots of laughter.

Just wanted to share a loved few thoughts from Mary Baker Eddy about Christmas:

I love to observe Christmas in quietude, humility, benevolence, charity, letting good will towards man, eloquent silence, prayer, and praise express my conception of Truth's appearing. The splendor of this nativity of Christ reveals infinite meanings and gives manifold blessings.
