Well another birthday/Christmas/Eve weekend gone by…  We had the lighting of the fourth Advent candle for worship on Sunday morning with choral cantata, a service for children and their families in the late afternoon, and the traditional Christmas Eve lessons and carols evening candlelight service that same night.  Just catching up a bit of my breath with the busy-ness of the season.  Posted the annual family newsletter, News from the Espiritu’s with this year’s byline, “Blessed To Be Raising Blessings”.  Pondering the following quotes I’d missed over the past couple of weeks or so, listed below….  Christmas blessings to you and yours in these days following………… 

December 15 — “All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

December 16 — “Hurry means that we gather impressions but have no experiences, that we collect acquaintances but make no friends, that we attend meetings but experience no encounter. We must recover eternity if we are to find time, and eternity is what Jesus came to restore. For without it, there can be no charity.” — D. T. Niles, The Preacher’s Calling to be a Servant
