A Thought for Today
Don't live by the Bible or the net or anyone else's idea of how you should live. Live by your own sense of morality, justice and truth. If you're wrong you will find out soon enough.
FROM the¨BOOKS
Invitation
I've seen so many Merry Xmas signs
with Christ squeezed out by laziness
or the printer's economic need.
The outrage that it once produced
has almost found its way into the attic
with nineteen-sixty's broken toys.
( Had I not the faces of small children
to mirror Christ for me the whole year long
I might believe God dead, or sleeping anyway.
Though I doubt there lives a Lucifer
who could make September leaves to fall
or set the tails of dogs to wagging. )
God is living somewhere in the mountains,
a recluse from some people's hearts.
But He'd drop by smiling in the chilly night
and help us celebrate His first son's birthday
if we cared enough to leave the porch light on.
- from "The Carols
of Christmas"
