Reflections

Lo, how a rose. Whether literary or literal truth, the story of the baby born in the poorest of circumstances who goes on to become a Rabbi who powerfully influenced how we look at God has continued to resonate across the centuries. Our Muslim neighbor who attended services last night with us for the second year told us her son is planning on being baptized at Easter. She promised to invite us to the Muslim community of Phoenix fellowship. Love and light rule among us if only we recognize and embrace it. I give thanks for the new hip that will allow me to continue to garden in 2019---for loving family and friends who share their lives so generously with us. May health and love and unending opportunities to grow be yours this special season.
