Well, it's that time of year again... most people want to know what the shepherds have to say... most people know what the shepherds did say over 2000 years ago... and they're looking for a current experience.
It is such fun to walk around the neighborhood and see the decorations all the people put out. This one is just precious, isn't it? Symbolism abounds and inspires with each little lighted ornament... and maybe it will inspire you to... give... give something to show how significant the recipient is.
Giving is precious!
I came across a website that had a beautiful paragraph quote that says what I embrace and adopt in truth.
"The real reason we keep purchasing gifts and giving them to those dear to us is that we relish giving them; we enjoy giving gifts even more than we enjoy receiving them. We are more excited, more suspenseful, when we watch someone else open the gift we have given than we are when we open the gift given to us. And we know why. Giving a gift is recognition of the recipient’s worthiness. It’s also a declaration of that person’s significance to us."

I'm thinking Dr. Shepherd will not be too bothered that I quoted him. Just click on the link and you can find him too. Reading through the article... it is really about the Shepherd as Doctor... Healer.
