MORE THAN A SEASON

_________________________

Matthew 28:16-20 (NRSV)

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

_________________________

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

- Hebrews 13:8 (NRSV)

_________________________

YOU forgot Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus," my little granddaughter shouted from the living room as I put away the Christmas decorations for another year.

"I like to keep those out all year," I replied. "Seeing them helps me remember to put Jesus in everything I do."

We spend time -- some of us, lots of time -- getting ready for Christmas. Many of us decorate the inside and the outside of our houses. We buy and wrap gifts, prepare special foods, attend and participate in church programs, and celebrate with family and friends. Then, as quickly as it comes, the season of Christmas is over.

But is it over? It takes special effort amid our seasonal activities to remember why we celebrate Christmas: it is a time to remember the birth of our Savior! As we take time to tell others about him and to live daily in the inspiration of the stories of Jesus, his birth, his life, his death, and his resurrection,
we celebrate rightly. And these are appropriate in every season of the year. God's love for you and me is forever constant; it is more than a seasonal celebration.


Prayer: Dear God, thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ. Open our
hearts and minds to keep him in our daily activities as our guide, our sustainer, and our ever-present joy. Amen.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Never lose sight of Jesus.

-- Anita J. McIntosh (North Carolina, U.S.A.)

PRAYER FOCUS: To remember whose birth we celebrate

Famous Quotes




"Unqualified disobedience is a frequent misconception, when the rider is not only demanding but also not listening to the horse. If the horse is a strong personality the result is a notoriously resistant animal: if the horse is a submissive weak personality, it can be brainwashed into a mechanical automat, a zombie. Both are contrary to the correct dressage."

Tibor Podanyi



"One should avoid resistances, instead of trying to conquer them."

Aubert



"When, due to his conformation, one can expect only a limited extension from a horse, one should, if the movement is correct and rhythmic, evaluate this performance as high as the impressive lengthening of a horse that was born with this talent."

Kurt Albrecht



"It is not the speed, neither the number of strides, that should be valuated during the pirouette, but it the rhythm of the jumps and the maintenance of the balance during the turns."

Hans von Heydebreack ( 1866-1935 )



"Those who devote themselves to practice without science are like sailors who put to sea without a rudder or compass and who can never be certain where they are going. Practice must always be founded on sound theory."

Leonardo da Vinci



"The horse thinks he is his own master, but in fact he is my slave."

Unknown



"The arms are not just there for their beauty, they are there so that you can use them."

Nick Hartog



"Allow your horse to be brilliant. he can not be made to. It must come from within, because of his confidence and pride in himself and his respect (not fear) for his rider."

Bert Hartog ( 1943 )
