Good morning…
“This kind of ‘says it all’,” a friend wrote this week. “…my wishes for you and all those I love!”

December’s Gentle Grace by Etheric Echoes
This holiday season, I’m wishing for the kind of wealth that money could never buy – the gentle peace of a quiet mind, the warmth of laughter echoing through rooms filled with those we love, and the pure joy of adventures that remind us we’re alive.
But most of all, I wish for each of you to see your own light, to feel the depth of your worth, to know that in this vast universe, your presence creates ripples of magic that touch more lives than you’ll ever know.
You are not just loved – you are essential, extraordinary, and irreplaceable. May this season remind you of that truth, over and over again.

Each of us is not just loved, we are essential, extraordinary, and irreplaceable. This is why God wrapped Jesus in vulnerable skin and sent him to be with us. The Light of the world came to ignite our unique light. The Prince of peace, who is worthy of our praise, affirms the depth of our own worth. The Spirit of the living God, present within us, creates ripples of miraculous power, power expanding out to touch more lives than we will ever know.
Jesus himself said it best in John 10:10b (AMP). I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). Now, in the quiet of this holy night, words from my spiritual mentor overflow from heaven.
A circle full of ripples
from one pebble in a pond
fades unobtrusively
into forever
like a quiet life
poured out in love.
– Betty Skinner
On that first Christmas morn, God chose to pour out his love in the quiet life of Jesus. The ripples from his pebble continue to ripple on through me…through you…through all of the lives we touch…fading unobtrusively into forever.
