Anguish and heartbreak may not be distributed very evenly around the world, but they are distributed very widely. If we knew the facts, we would very rarely find someone whose life was to be envied.
Harold Kushner
Therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Micah 7:7
The King James Version
The kindest people are those who forgive and forget.

Have we not one God, and one Christ, and one Spirit of grace poured out upon us? And is there not one calling in Christ? Why do we divide and tear asunder the members of Christ, and raise up strife against our own body, and reach such a pitch of madness as to forget that we are members of one another?
Clement of Rome
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold In settings of silver.
Proverbs 25:11
The New King James Version
We need Jesus every moment of every day. To say anything else is ludicrous.

It behooves Christian doctrine to be consolidated by years, enlarged by time, refined by age, and yet, withal, to continue uncorrupt and unadulterated, complete and perfect in all the measurements of its parts.
Vincent of Lérins
Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
Ecclesiastes 11:9
The English Standard Version
Envy is a coal come hissing hot from hell.

The spiritual life is not a thing without emotions. The saints weep at the thought of their own sins and the goodness of God; their hearts beat to the bursting point within them, they shout and dance for joy; they die to see God.
Jean Mouroux
for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
2 Chronicles 30:9
The King James Version
God is here. Wherever we are, God is here. There is no place, there can be no place, where He is not.

There can be no contradiction or schism where God is. His truth cannot be otherwise than one truth, one life, one love.
Karl Adam
“You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached—how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.”
Acts 10:36-38
The New International Version
I can’t tell you any more. I’ve already told you more than I heard.

A Christian who walks by faith accepts all circumstances from God. He thanks God when everything goes good, when everything goes bad, and for the “blues” somewhere in-between. He thanks God whether he feels like it or not.
Erwin W. Lutzer
“But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this time next year.”
Genesis 17:21

Some people sell themselves to the devil; others rent themselves out by the day.

In the last analysis, it is our conception of death which decides our answers to all the questions that life puts to us.

Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

When the sinner despairs of the forgiveness of sin, it is almost as if he were directly picking a quarrel with God.
Sören Kierkegaard
A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

The entire day receives order and discipline when it acquires unity. This unity must be sought and found in morning prayer. The morning prayer determines the day.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
Hebrews 12:1

It is amazing how strong we become when we begin to understand what weaklings we are!

Wishing you a most joyous and meaningful Christmas celebration!
Christmas is not a date on the calendar but a state of mind. We can live through the twenty-fifth day of December, give and receive gifts, burn candles and even attend services at the church and still miss Christmas. Unless the spirit of that first Christmas morning, when God came down to earth to take a hand in the affairs of men, gets into our hearts, we will have no Christmas—only another twenty-four hours. If, on the contrary, we approach Christmas with the wonder that the shepherds had, the adoring thankfulness of the Wise Men, the joy of the heavenly hosts, not only this day but every day will be Christmas for us.
Henry Van Dyke
In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favours!’
Luke 2:8-14
The New Revised Standard Version
Unto Us
A mother delivers
A Son is born.
Shepherds rejoice
A Lamb is born.
Angels sing
A Lord is born.
A star shines
A Light is born.
Wise men come
A King is born.
The story is told
A Faith is born.
