Reaching High

The spire reaches into the sky.

Like our dreams and hopes.

Each promise a better tomorrow.

Christmas

It's a time to reflect, to dream, to do some good.

The year is almost over.

There has been much accomplished

and still much to do.

Each memory of the year cherished.

Each sad moment wiped away; each great moment magnified.

Each friendship remembered.

Each journey documented for the generations that follow.

Wonder

How often does the greatness of creation pass us by? How often are we so caught up with the work that surround us that we forget to appreciate people and our surroundings?

Pause. Stop and smell the flowers.
