The Work of Christmas
When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flock,
The work of Christmas begins:
To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among people,
To make music in the heart.
- The Mood of Christmas by Howard Thurman
A man's greatest care should be for that place where he dwells longest; therefore eternity should be in his scope!
"Kindness, kindness, kindness. I want to make a New Year's prayer, not a resolution. I'm praying for courage."
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."
"Jesus became man because what was needed was the death of a man who was more than man. The incarnation was God's locking himself into death row."
"When we recall Christmas past, we usually find that the simplest things, not the great occasions, give off the greatest glow of happiness."
"To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake it is necessary to stand out in the cold."
"It's what you give that makes an impact on this world, regardless of the things you have."
