I would like to relay my priest's very simple Christmas message onto you...
It all started with two pieces of wood: the baby Jesus was lain in a manger, a cradle which was made of two pieces of wood. It all ended with two pieces of wood: Jesus was hung to die on the cross, which was also ironically made of two pieces of wood.
How do we choose to live our lives? Do we comfort people who are in despair? Hug those who need support? Befriend the outcast? Do we build a cradle? OR Do we cause conflict? Set up boundaries? Create enemies? Do we build crosses?
We are all given two pieces of wood... How will you choose to use them? Will you make a cradle or a cross?
It's really all that simple. Start building...
