"God came to
us because he wanted to join us on the road, to listen to our story, and to
help us realize that we are not walking in circles but moving towards the house
of peace and joy. This is the great
mystery of Christmas that continues to give us comfort and consolation: we are
not alone on our journey. The God of love who gave us life sent his only
Son to be with us at all times and in all places, so that we never have to feel
lost in our struggles but always can trust that he walks with us.
The challenge is to let God be who he wants to
be. A part of us clings to our aloneness and does not allow God to touch
us where we are most in pain. Often we hide from him precisely those
places in ourselves where we feel guilty, ashamed, confused, and lost. Thus we do not give him a chance to be with us where we feel most alone. Christmas is the
renewed invitation not to be afraid and to let him-whose love is greater than
our own hearts and minds can comprehend-be our companion.” - Henri Nouwen
the cousins all tromped into the woods today to work on their fort...
may the exploration never cease. :)
They hauled a bunch of fallen evergreen branches to the fort to make a soft bed..
Ahh!!
