Christmas gifts - from our friends in the USA
Colleen in the US wrote the other day in response to our post about John Wyndham's book "The Ultimate Freedom." She also let us know about the new Jolie movie (coming to Australia mid January) about Louis Zamperini. Colleen writes that she "read the Zamperini book and found it really inspiring."
If you haven’t heard about that movie ("Unbroken"), here is a link:
In the meantime, some of us have had the privilege this week of joining Madelon Maupin's webinar "Celebrating the Christmas Story with Luke." The good news is that everyone can now listen to it by logging on to www.BibleRoads.com and signing in. This lovely gift is available until December 31.
One of the many new things I learnt is that there are two Greek words for time: one is Kairos (God's time); the other is Chronos (man's time). How helpful it is to realize that we are not bound by the Chronos. We have the freedom and flexibility of Kairos. Madelon says: When God speaks, chronos stops!
I'll close today with words from Mary Baker Eddy:
"In Christian Science, Christmas stands for the real, the absolute and eternal, - for the things of Spirit, not of matter."
- page 43 in our book of the month, "What Christmas Means to Me"
