Micah 6:8
Matthew 19:16-21
Yes, your life matters.
We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Boxing Day! This year it's likely there were fewer punches thrown on Christmas Day
than usual, simply because there were fewer folks in close enough
proximity to throw those punches, but it's the day after Christmas - Boxing Day - when fisticuffs are the order of the day.
Actually, that's not what it's about. The origin of boxing day seems to be that after Christmas, folks would box up their surplus to donate to those in need. There's an admirable way to follow up the gift-giving of Christmas, eh? By giving gifts even after the day of gift giving, we remind ourselves that all we have is a gift. It seems to me that an attitude of generosity leads inexorably to an attitude of gratitude. Try it - you'll like it!
Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
