obscure delights of Christmas



"...the spirit of Christmas is a paradox precisely because its largeness is made manifest in the smallest of ways: in little kindnesses, tiny pleasures, and obscure delights among ordinary people in the simplest of circumstances."

                                                      - from Christmas Spirit, by George Grant and Gregory Wilbur

    1. Thank you, Susan! This same thought was also in Magnificat today - did you see it? It says, "The salvation for which we wait can come to us in small, unrecognized ways. That is the way of the Incarnation."
      (I am going to write to you!)
