“Christmas is the renewed invitation not to be afraid and to let him—whose love is greater than our own hearts and minds can comprehend—be our companion.” 

— Henri Nouwen

The greatest ingredient in love is freedom.  Love does not exist without it.  To love is a choice.

In the joy of Christmas, we are reminded of the opportunities to love.

We can choose faith over fear.  We can trust in the companionship of a God who has gone before us and is with us still.  We can answer the call from Love to love.

Merry Christmas! 

How might I celebrate the companionship of Jesus this Christmas?

May you be inspired!
