Inspirational Quotes:
Appreciation can change a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is nec-essary. — Margaret Cousins
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them. — John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it. — Ziad K. Abdelnour
SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT
Back to the garden Among the cards arriving daily are the usual crèche scenes, angels, wise men, shepherds, and Bethlehem stars like search-lights against the night. Truth be told, there are plenty of Santas and reindeer, snowfolk, and cute animals too. But somewhere is the odd pairing of a lion and a lamb snuggling together—which never happens in Isaiah’s prophecy, by the way. The lamb hosts the wolf, and the calf dines with the lion, but no matter. The idea is that the world’s original harmony is achievable–if we all retract our claws and keep our teeth to ourselves. Be a peacemaker!
TODAY'S READINGS: Isaiah 11:1-10; Romans 15:4-9; Matthew 3:1-12
De regreso al jardín Entre las tarjetas que llegan a diario están las habituales escenas del pesebre, ángeles, Reyes Magos, pastores, y estrellas de Belén como reflectores en la noche. La verdad sea dicha, hay muchos Santas y renos, muñecos de nieve, y animales adorables también. Pero en alguna parte está la extraña pareja de un león y un cordero acurrucados juntos—que dicho sea de paso nunca sucede en la profecía de Isaías. El cordero recibe al lobo, y el becerro come con el león, pero no importa. La idea es que es posible lograr la armonía original del mundo—si todos retraemos nuestras garras y guardamos nuestros dientes. ¡Sé un pacifi-cador!
