“We are all meant to be mothers of God, for God is always needing to be born.” Meister Eckhart

This past January we had a big snow and ice storm in Kentucky. I did not waste any time calling a friend who works at a beautiful horse farm just outside of Lexington, and she made arrangements for me to gain entry. The morning was so incredibly quiet and it seemed the whole world was tucked away out of site on this chilly morning. Several nice images were created, but the simplicity of this one seemed most appropriate for this Christmas reflection. 

There is little I can say or add to this Advent season that you have not already read or sung. Considering the quote above, what would God have you do, and how does He need you to be born this day? What difference does He want you to make? Considering the gift of this beautiful earth, what small steps can you make to be a better steward this season and this coming year? 

“May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in His works.” Psalm 104:31
