You like to think about the meaning of the holidays. You tap into the spiritual side of things, even if you aren't religious. Your holiday wish is peace on earth. You wish the world was a happier place. You may not be able to change the world through your small actions, but you're going to try! |
Eye Level To A Bulldog
December 22, 2010
My son and his wife have a 120- pound American bulldog with a powerful body and fearsome face. Yet until we became friends, Buddy wasnt sure he could trust me. As long as I was on my feet, hed keep his distance and wouldnt look me in the eye. Then one day I learned that if Id get down on the ground, the mood of Buddys big-jowled face would change. Sensing I was no longer a threat, hed playfully come running like a freight train, pounce on me with his big feet, and want me to scratch his muscular neck.
Maybe what Buddy needed from me is a glimmer of what our God gave us by coming down to our level and living among us in the person of Christ. From the day that our first parents sinned and hid from the presence of the Lord, our tendency has been to be afraid of coming to a high and holy God on His terms (John 3:20).
So, as Isaiah predicted, God showed how low He was willing to go to bring us to Himself. By adopting the form of a lowly servant, our Creator lived and died to disarm our wrongs. Even now He is coaxing us from the cover of our spiritual darkness (Isa. 42:7) to call us friends (John 15:15). How can we still be afraid to trust Him?

You don't really buy into a lot of the mainstream commercialism surrounding the holidays. You don't believe things bring happiness. Your holiday wish is for each person to find fulfillment. Inner peace is the best kind of peace. You don't tell other people how to live their lives, but you've figured out what works for you. |
Ok, gotta tell you I won't be around long. Either my connection, FR, or something is causing me trouble posting this morning. Slower than molasses in January!
Time for me to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness, and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
