[Kim Montroll, close friend and Bread of Life core member, has been reading
The Mood of Christmas & Other Celebrations by Howard Thurman this Advent
season. She is the moderator of our mission group, and has been reading these
before we descend into our shared silence before doing our outward work each
Thursday morning. I hope it brings you lift and light! Merry Christmas! –Jim Marsh]
—
Candles of joy, despite all sadness,
Candles of hope, where despair keeps watch,
Candles of courage for fears ever present,
Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days,
Candles of grace to ease heavy burdens,
Candles of love to inspire all my living,
Candles that will burn all year long.
–Howard Thurman, The Mood of Christmas & Other Celebrations
