Christmas lessons

So every year around this time we get into the Christmas spirit... and even if you're not a Christmas believer, you've got to marvel at the powerful messages that the Christmas story generates. For me, there are two very significant lessons surrounding the Christmas story. The first is the idea of a little baby boy creating such an impact on the entire world... and I think about all of the little things in life that people do that add such great value to our world. Often times we overlook these little special things and so the Christmas story is a reminder that we all have something special to add to this world - no matter how small it may be.

The second lesson for me is about humility - no fancy private hospital - just a simple cow shed... and a reminder to us that wherever we may be placed in this world, whoever we may be, regardless of our rank, qualifications or position..., we are all called to serve and to serve with humility.

May this Christmas bring meaning to your life.

+ve vibes,
Mark
