CREDO AT CHRISTMAS



At Christmas time I believe the things that children do.
I believe with English children that holly placed in windows will protect our homes from evil.

I believe with Swiss children that the touch of edelweiss will charm a person with love.

I believe with Italian children that La Befana is not an ugly doll but a good fairy who will gladden the heart of all.

I believe with Greek children that coins concealed in freshly baked loaves of bread will bring good luck to anyone who finds them.

I believe with German children that the sight of a Christmas tree will lessen hostility among adults.

I believe with French children that lentils soaked and planted in a bowl will rekindle life in people who have lost hope.

I believe with Dutch children that the horse Sleipner will fly through the sky and fill the earth with joy.

I believe with Swedish children that Jultomte will come and deliver gifts to the poor as well as to the rich.

I believe with Finnish children that parties held on St.Stephen's Day will erase sorrow.

I believe with Danish children that the music of a band playing from a church tower will strengthen humankind.

I believe with Bulgarian children that sparks from a Christmas log will create warmth in human souls.

I believe with American children that the sending of Christmas cards will build friendships.

I believe with all children that there will be peace on earth.

My children still teach me what's important, I forget it sometimes.

CHANUKAH MESSAGE

May God protect us form our foes,
Like candles form the past.
As Faith unites, and gives, and welds
The essence that will last.
To give to take,
And feel and love,
Is that which we must treasure.
The Faith in it shines brighter than
A mortal eye can measure.

(joseph l byron)
And God teaches me, what is important all the time.
