"If, as if Herod, we fill our lives with things, and again with things; if we consider ourselves to be so unimportant that we must fill every moment of our lives with action, when will we have the time to make the long, slow journey across the desert as did the Magi? Or sit and watch the stars as did the shepherds? Or brood over the coming of the child as did Mary? For each one of us, there is a desert to travel. A star to discover. And a being within ourselves to bring life."

I read this quote on Christmas & have thought of it often. It takes hold of the Christmas Spirit & shows you how to carry it in your hearts every day of the year. We were created to be, we were created to discover our star, and we were meant to take the time to "brood" over the coming of the women we were created to become. Sarah Ban Breathnach says, "Our lives are gifts from God and what we do with them is our gift in return." May you carry the Christmas Spirit with you throughout this New Year and may you find happiness in the gifts you are giving to Him.
Happy New Year!
