“Winter invites me to rest and contemplation, to making time for quiet walks in the few hours of light. The God of winter invites me into a healing rhythm of rest and renewal, of deep listening in the midst of stillness, of trusting the seeds sprouting deep within that have been planted. There is a harshness to this winter God as well, winter speaks to me of loss, it is the landscape of my grief in all its beauty and sorrow.

The God of winter is also the God of breaking through into the heart of that dark season with the glorious illumination of the Christ child. We too are invited to ponder what is incubating within us and how we are bringing the holy to birth in our lives.” Christine Valters Paintner

“There is no need to go to India or anywhere else to find Peace. You will find that deep place of silence right in your room, your garden, or even your bathtub.” Elizabeth Kubler-Ross quoted in Awakening to the Sacred by Lama Surya Das

Image Based Journaling is this coming Saturday at Community House (2701 Dogwood Dr. Edmond, 73013) starting at 2 p.m.

This is your reminder and invitation to join us next Saturday for Image Based Journaling at 2:00. I know it is a busy time of year, but I hope you will make the time. It is the edge of a new season and it is important for us all to take out the time to listen to whatever this new season of winter has for us. It is different every year and deserves our close attention.
Merry Christmas

“How do I let God love me more?”:
Without missing a beat, Brother Paul answered in his joyful tone, "God cannot love you more. God already loves you infinitely. You just need to become more aware of [God’s] love … by becoming more present to it. It’s like hearing birdcalls. By paying attention and delighting in it.” Colette Lafia, The Divine Heart: Seven Ways to Live in God’s Love (Monkfish, 2021), 22, 23.

“The seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany offer their own distinctive invitation to trust this work, this love that does not depend solely on our awareness of it… to enter into a story that unfolds substantially in darkness and in mystery, where events hinge on dreams, strange visitors, far journeys, stars, and developments that can happen only in what is hidden. Darkness, in these days, shows itself as a place where God meets us, where Christ comes to us not simply to transform the darkness but to transform us, that we might open ourselves to the love that has been in us from the beginning.” Richardson, Jan. How the Stars Get in Your Bones: A Retreat for Women’s Christmas. 31. 2025.

LOVE WITH DIVINE LOVE
“Love each other as I have loved you.” John 15:12
“To love as Jesus loved us is to love with Divine Love, with the Love of the persons of the Trinity, which is total self-surrender. They love not in order to receive love in return,but because it is the nature of divine love to give, to pour itself out, to surrender, and to do so for no other reason than because it is what it is—SHEER GIFT.” Thomas Keating
