The Greatest Gift

    The greatest gift you will ever receive will never be found under a Christmas tree. It is far too valuable to be stored in any other place but in the depths of your heart.

Nelson Mandala

“No one is born hating another person
because of the color of his skin,
or his background,
or his religion.

People must learn to hate,
and if they can learn to hate,
they can be taught to love,
for love comes more naturally
to the human heart
than its opposite.”
~ Nelson Mandela~

Paying it Forward

 

 

 

The life I touch for good or ill

 will touch another life,

 and in turn another,

 until who knows where the trembling stops

 or in what far place my touch will be felt."

 ~Frederick Buechner~

The Hungering Dark

Second Sunday of Advent

 

 

                         And John the Baptist began preaching throughout 
                          all of Judea.                

Nature in All

 Nature is so powerful

So Strong

Capturing its essence is not

Easy ~ Your work becomes a

Dance with light and weather

It takes you to a place within

yourself.



First Sunday of Advent

Come Let Us Walk In the Light of the Lord
