Thought for Today

“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” ― Edith Lovejoy Pierce

In memory of Leader Otis of The Cult of Otis Callie is celebrating Box Day. You know… the cat holiday. Kitties love boxes and what better day to play in a box than the day after Christmas?

So all you cat parents out there, how are the kitties at your house celebrating?

The Work of Chirstmas

When the song of the angels is stilled,
When the star in the sky is gone,
When the kings and princes are home,
When the shepherds are back with their flock,
The work of Christmas begins:

To find the lost,
To heal the broken,
To feed the hungry,
To release the prisoner,
To rebuild the nations,
To bring peace among brothers,
To make music in the heart.

— . Dr. Howard Thurman author, philosopher, theologian, educator and civil rights leader [Source:http://standingonthesideoflove.org/blog/the-work-of-christmas-begins/%5D

Christmas Eve Services

Over the years Bob and I have made a tradition of attending Christmas Eve Services. The buildings have ranged from a converted factory to an history cathedral. Music has included magnificent organs, rock and roll bands, strings, choirs, soloists and a mariachi band. The ancient words have been spoken in Latin, English and Spanish. Traditions` have covered the Christian spectrum from Catholic, to a variety of protestant denominations to Unity. But over the years all these different experiences have had one thing in common — the presence of the Creator and the love in the hearts of those who have come to celebrate the birth of the Christ Consciousness.

This year we will be a part of the online congregation of Unity Village Chapel for their Christmas Eve Candle Lighting Service. The service begins at 7 pm Central time and we invite you to join the live stream by going to http://www.unityvillagechapel.org/ If you live in the Kansas City area please consider attending in person.
