"And she gave birth to her firs born son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room fo them in the inn."Luke 2:7
There are often powerful lessons contained in the writings of the world's great spiritual traditions that we can appreciate whether we're part of that tradition or not.
I particularly like this one - from the Christian tradition about
the birth of Jesus.
The lesson for us in this story is simple - great things can come
from very humble beginnings.
Often we discount ourselves and minimize what we can
accomplish because we feel so ordinary. We're just a regular
person from a regular family doing regular stuff.
Or perhaps our family was, shall we say, a little less than ordinary? How could we expect to do great things? No one in our family ever did great things!
Good. You get to be first.
I'm pretty sure you got a better start than being wrapped in
rags in a stable. It's not where you came from, but where you're going that counts.
No excuses. We need you. Go change the world.
Merry Christmas,
Wes
