"There is a time for a child to be born,
With the earth betrayed by war and hate
And a comet slashing the sky to warn
That time runs out and the sun burns late.
With the earth betrayed by war and hate
And a comet slashing the sky to warn
That time runs out and the sun burns late.
–When is the time for love to be born?
The inn is full on the planet earth,
And by a comet the sky is torn–
Yet love still takes the risk of birth.”
–Madeleine L’Engle

We do live in a world that is scary at times these days. War, Terror, Famine, Pollution, the current state of Politics in the US, Crime, Poverty, the News and the list goes on and on. Michael asks us, in light of all of this, what it would take for us to love.....
For me, that is easy. Does not take much. I know things may seem bleak, but I refuse to let it get me down! It's just so much better to live life filled with love and kindness. At least I hope I am doing this, I am certainly trying. I mean, maybe it is naive, but I will just quote the Beatles, "Love is All you Need!"
Psalm 103 (today's psalm from Michael) reminds us how much God loves us. And, as I previously stated, I have always felt loved: by my family, by my Church, by God. So, let's pass it forward everyone and live lives filled with Love and Kindness. Especially during this Season.
