• Lift up your eyes upon
  This day breaking for you.
  Give birth again
  To the dream.
  Women, children, men,
  Take it into the palms of your hands.
  Mold it into the shape of your most
  Private need. Sculpt it into
  The image of your most public self.
  Lift up your hearts
  Each new hour holds new chances
  For a new beginning.

  Maya Angelou

• Christmas is a time of little time.
  How we get there is a mystery.
  Racing madly mall-to-mall, we climb
  Into fields of sunlit harmony.
  Shopping, cooking, clearing walks and yards,
  Trimming house and tree while working, too;
  Making phone calls, wrapping, writing cards,
  As all worn out we do what we must do
  So that this day of joy might joy renew.

• The doctrine of vocation deals with how God works through human beings to bestow His gifts. God gives us this day our daily bread by means of the farmer the banker, the cooks, And the lady at the check-out counter. He creates new life - the most amazing miracle of all - by means of mothers and fathers. He protects us by means of the police officers, firemen, and our military. He creates. Through artists. He heals by working through doctors, nurses, and others whom He has gifted, equipped, and called to the medical professions.

• Build this day on a foundation of pleasant thoughts. Never fret at any imperfections that you fear may impede your progress. Remind yourself, as often as necessary, that you are a creature of God and have the power to achieve any dream by lifting up your thoughts. You can fly when you decide that you can. Never consider yourself defeated again. Let the vision in your heart be in your life's blueprint. Smile!
