THE BIRTH

A young peasant girl and a simple carpenter  gazed with love at their tiny baby!

What a story!

The best stories are the ones we read over and over again to our children.
This story from the past comes alive as we read again the words of scripture!
 So powerful that it touches our hearts with love beyond words and many (for me) emotions.  There is joy and there is sadness.

  The concert at Ben and Morgan's school included Mary and Joseph and the new-born baby.  The these was about giving instead of wanting just to receive.  I am very impressed with their school as the Principal greets the children when they came in in the morning, and the teachers seem to be very happy being with the children.

Said good-bye to Theresa and Ben at their house.  Ben had been up in the night with an ear-ache.  He will have to go to the doctor before his plane ride.  Flying with fluid in your ear can be extremely painful I know I have experienced it.

Said good-bye to Morgan at her classroom after meeting her teacher.  Children do make Christmas more exciting because they are so excited.  She always wants us to stay longer.

and the future will take care of itself.
Fully enjoy the wonder and beauty of each moment"     P. Yogananda

Dad and I are anxious to hear any news from Ken about the progress of his getting work
Waiting, hoping and praying.

This waiting, hoping and praying and wonder is very much a part of the story that is retold at Christmas time.  This story has grown out of the prophecies and promises of the Old Testament and reminds me of the mystery of faith that transforms the simple things like a stable or a star. or heavenly choirs into
divine revelation.

"Divine revelation is the opening of a door, which can only be unlocked from the inside when the time is ready and the heart is open."

Revelation does not need proof because true wisdom is beyond our understanding.
