My Dear Friends & Enemies, As you sit down to Christmas Dinner, I hope you will take time to remember that you – both alone and in concert with others – have been the difference between life and death for so many. Already in your lifetime you have helped in countless ways to bring warmth where it was needed, or a cooling touch to banish life’s fevers. In ways you may have thought to be small, your presence, your actions, your compassion – have brought those around you back to life. Every time you look outward to another person - where the warmth you have to share is all they need – and then share it – you do the work of God. Sometimes it may be a letter of conviction to an elected official, a moment of quiet communion with a dying neighbor, a smile to a stranger, or thoughts of gratitude as you serve dinner to your loved ones, you are gently and surely creating a space for life. And haven’t we all been blessed when others have done the same for us? I hope as you close your eyes around the Christmas table in gratitude, you will take a moment to think of those who have loved you into being – whose very presence was exactly what you needed at that very moment. At our table there will be a candle lit for you, with deep gratitude for all you do for so many in your circle of care. With Peace & Love, Rev.Steve Turn your speakers up!!
