This past weekend we enjoyed quintessential San Francisco Christmas family time. We rode the cable car, went ice skating, took in an adapted version of “The Christmas Carol,” and visited the handmade, life size Gingerbread House at a downtown hotel. I love where we live and enjoy the time together with my family, exploring our urban landscape.
Below I share some recent quotes that have grounded me in “the reason for the season.” May these holiday weeks ahead for you be filled with the spirit of the season- community, compassion, and generosity. Blessings on your weeks ahead!
Christmas arrives as the blockbuster season of hope. So go ahead. Take the risk. Rush into the holiest of nights like a holy fool and see what becomes of you. – Alice Camille
One who prays ceaselessly is one who combines prayer with work and work with prayer. -Origen
God made us to be in relationship with God and others. It is only by living in community that we learn and grow and become who God dreams us to be. -Ann Garrido
