As Seen On E-Mail

When I got to work this morning, I had to sift through 41 e-mail messages, mostly spam, but 2 messages from friends made me smile.

From Maggie:

When God wants an important thing done in this world or a wrong righted, He goes about it in a very singular way. He doesn't release thunderbolts or stir up earthquakes. God simply has a tiny baby born, Perhaps of a very humble home, perhaps of a very humble mother. And God puts the idea or purpose into the mother's heart. And she puts it in the baby's mind, and then - God waits. The great events of this world are not battles and elections and earthquakes, and thunderbolts. The great events are babies, for each child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged with humanity, but is still expecting goodwill to become incarnate in each human life." -Edmond McDonald

From Zoe:

St. Theresa's Prayer:
May today there be peace within. May you trust in the Goddess that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of love. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of love. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and everyone of us.
