8 days to go...

My favorite Christmas poem for this year and a thoughtful quote. These are the words that I am thinking on today.
Where Can We Find Him?
Where can we find the Holy One?
Where can we see His only Son?
The Wise Men asked,
And we’re asking still,
“Where can we find this Man of goodwill?”
Is He far away in some distant place,
Ruling unseen from His throne of grace?
Is there nothing on earth that man can see
To give him proof of eternity?

It’s true we have never looked on His face,
But His likeness shines forth from every place,
For the hand of God is everywhere
Along life’s busy thoroughfare.
And His presence can be felt and seen
Right in the midst of our daily routine,
The things we touch and see and feel
Are what make God so very real.

~Helen Steiner Rice
"Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you.
Then, do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life."
~Robert Louis Stevenson
