Today's devotion from Henry Nouwen: DAILY MEDITATION | DECEMBER 11, 2020 The Christ Child Within I think that we have hardly thought through the immense implica...tions of the mystery of the incarnation. Where is God? God is where we are weak, vulnerable, small, and dependent. God is where the poor are, the hungry, the handicapped, the mentally ill, the elderly, the powerless. How can we come to know God when our focus is elsewhere, on success, influence, and power? I increasingly believe that our faithfulness will depend on our willingness to go where there is brokenness, loneliness, and human need. . . . Each one of us is very seriously searching to live and grow in this belief, and by friendship we can support each other. I realize that the only way for us to stay well in the midst of the many worlds is to stay close to the small, vulnerable child that lives in our hearts and in every other human being. Often we do not know that the Christ child is within us. When we discover him we can truly rejoice. Henri J. M. Nouwen What do you think?

Today in just a few minutes. I’ll be on my page and open the room by 9:50. Just click on it. We shall see as my mother would say.

For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth branches like a young plant. (Job 14:7-9)

Sadly, due to safety factors, we are cancelling this Wednesday's Kids 4 Christ (December 9). We will surely miss those smiling young faces! We are planning to meet for the last time in December on December 16th. Hope to see everyone there. In Christ's love!
