Amidst the commercialism, consumerism, and ever other -ism that surrounds the Christmas season there is a truth that pierces the heart of greed, glutony and the prideful spirit of "bigger & better". An active truth that brought the light of God into the darkness of our world. A truth that brought Emmanuel: God with us. God living with us, interacting with us, hurting with us, loving with us, and even suffering and dying with us. His birth was the ultimate act of humility, His death the ultimate act of love, and His resurrection was the ultimate act of triumph...this is our God. He is our hope for a world where there truly is peace on earth like we hear in the songs on the radio throughout the month of December. Imagine a world where there is no fighting or need of any kind; where everyone lived in perfect community with one another. Imagine a world where everything was the way that God intended it to be, and then ask yourself, "what can I do to bring us a little bit closer to that world each day?"
"Do small things with great love." -Mother Teresa
