It's that time of the year when we get stressed and run at warp speed, trying to get everything done until we finally make ourselves stay "STOP" and take time to get quiet and realize what's really going on -- Christmas. Christmas means so many things to so many people. First and foremost, it is the birth of Jesus and time to savor the mystery of faith and hope. Right about now, I'd love to be walking on the beach at Chincoteague - it's where I feel closest to God and the intimate immensity that the ocean brings reminds me of the bigger picture of life.
Christmas is also family, traditions, memories, time together and time to remember others. If you have time, check out this video using Mary Chapin Carpenter's Come Darkness, Come Light http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb4id4rDwd0&noredirect=1 . It says a lot about Christmas and what we celebrate.
I hope that the mystery and miracle of Christmas touches you and blesses you with love for the new year. Karen
