Thank you for the correction, M. I finished this post in the emergency room with my Grandpa so my mind was not quite focused.

And thanks to the rest of your for your kind comments! I’m so honored to be writing here…

Just a note to tell you the Compassion International site link is incorrect. The blog post goes to compassion.org which is a list of quotes. You are looking for http://www.compassion.com

Peace to all.

So good. I think I’m adopting the phrase “live child-like faith, give like an adult.” Thanks, Holley.

“This happens not when we are perfect, not when we have much to give, but when we—who are all grown up now—open our hearts once again to childlike faith and the wonder of Christmas.”

I loved the entire post, but that particular sentence socked me in the gut. You’ve articulated so well here what Christmas magic is all about. Thank you.

Oh this brought back memories of the nativity pageants we put on for my parents. Only with two sisters, there was much clamoring to be Mary. Somehow I always got relegated to being Joseph. Or a shepherd.
Beautiful post. There is indeed the miracle of Christmas.
