We sang and prayed, and I offered the following reflection: http://wp.me/ppOfv-bk<br /><br />It was followed by bag-packing and present-wrapping and checking that there are, in fact, gifts for all of our nieces and nephews! Now for some sleep. <br /><br />Warm thoughts to all of you on this busy day! And when it dawns at your place - Merry Christmas!

Fortunately my kids aren't arriving until the day after Christmas, so I have tomorrow, too. Whew. <br /><br />An Advent reflection from Credo on Christ coming anew was my inspiration. Grateful for that, too-- I needed a new approach for Christmas. <br /><br />Blessings to all on this hurried and holy day!

We will be in darkness, except for some candles. She will not be seen, just her voice heard. She's about 12 or 13. In practicing with her I was struck, again and again, by that phrase. Trusting human hands to hold their maker.

I remember being completely captivated by the phrase "trusting human hands to hold their maker."
