NIGHT OF HOPE

The Night of the Child is the night of hope, all hopes. We await the coming of this Night with all our hopes bound up together somehow, both our hopes for ourselves as individuals and our hopes for others as well, both those who are known to us and those who are unknown....

We hope there will be things to treasure in our hearts, things to ponder, hold, and remember, and that we will be thoughtful enough to see those things and wise enough to hold onto them.

  1. The Sound Bites are such a blessing, bringing our thoughts to higher things a few minutes every day. May you all have a joyous Christmas and a blessed New Year.
