                               Become Like a Child
                                                     By Rev. Jim Rosemergy

   Wonder and awe are words that are acceptable during the Christmas season, for mucch thought surrounds the birth of Jesus. Certainly, there is a wonder in what happened in Bethlehem long ago, but there is also wonder in this moment and in every moment.
   wonder and a conciousness of the spiritual dimension of life do not come because we take a grand view of it. Through the ages, people who have paused from the busyness and semands of daily life have found wonder in seemingly insignificanr events and things. It makes me ponder if ti is not all awe and wonder if we have eyes to see and ears to hear...
   Every time we are awestruck or filled with wonder, life is wonderful. In that moment, a birth takes place --ours.

May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways.    --- 2 Thessalonians 3:16
