TODAY'S THOUGHT
Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely
Auguste Rodin

TODAY'S QUOTE
Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it
Swedish proverb
ADVENT
It is time for us, during this Advent season, to open ourselves to the often subtle ways that Jesus seeks to come into our lives. If we expect the coming of the Lord to be heralded with lightning bolts and thunder, we will most likely be disappointed. Yet, when we pray to encounter Christ a little more each day, and open ourselves to new ways that He can use to speak to us, we will not be disappointed
This year you can start a Christmas Memory Book. Maybe even a Christmas Video. Take pictures and save the Christmas Cards. Write about the holiday and your feelings. Who came to visit? What was an unexpected blessing? The possibilities are endless

TODAY'S REFLECTION
All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field
Isaiah 40:6b
Poinsettias are native to Mexico and some call them Flowers of the Holy Night There is a legend about a poor Mexican girl, Pepita, who was sad because she had no gift good enough to bring to the Christ child. Her friend, Pedro, told her, Even the most humble gift, if given in love, will be acceptable in his eyes. Pepita went into the field and gathered a handful of weeds. But she felt even sadder when she looked at her bouquet. She was embarrassed to take them to the church. Then she remembered Pedro's kind words and thought how much she loved Jesus. As she laid her gift before the Nativity scene, the bouquet suddenly turned into brilliant red flowers -- joy and thankfulness filled her heart
When we see the poinsettias during Christmas season, this little story can remind us of the importance of God's love shining through our lives, brightening the lives of others
