Merry Christmas To Everybody! Comments

You wrote about the ''angels who encourage us to perform good deeds.''This is essential, my brother. You also wrote ''but the cold world considers the boy to be just a regular, modest, humble, honorable, and thus invisible stationer.'' ''Yes, we are on earth for now, but our earthly lives are nothing but a vapor'' (James 4: 14) . ''But eternity, now that is a long time, and that is where a Christian’s focus should really be'' (1 Peter 5: 10) .Happy New Year!

you write: “being insensitive to the suffering of others is to be unworthy of one's own suffering.” I don’t follow this; what does it mean to you? ? // the poem goes to MyPoemList. Bri :) Happy New Year.

BUT i do like your poem of boy and dog, AND i do salute your holiday greeting and 'suggestion' that people would make the world a nicer place if they had more compassion for others. // The soul is a sacred sanctuary: nice alliterations! // “loving oneself isn't true love” I say ‘Why not? ’// [to be continued]

// and i do NOT believe THIS is a universal truth: everyone, ……, no later than on their deathbed, feels that the greatest wealth is hidden inside the human hearts.....i say: “humbug”. ok, for some it may be true, but, again, it is a poor substitute for lifelong caring for each other. // i don't believe (any more, since my youth) in God, Jesus, prayer or angels.// [to be continued]

Tom, Billsborough, in his comment, forgot the Amen! // 4th line heart/hear // favorite lines: the golden sundust floated on the soft, sweet back...of the wind, as if looking for the stationer boy and his dog. // i do not 'celebrate' x-mas, 'religious-ly' or 'commercial-ly', BUT i do treat people equally year around. to do otherwise would only serve to show how hollow 'religion' is to some! [to be continued]

:) Thanks for inviting..though i am not celebrating here but i am happy the spirit that you ahave and spreading good words and nice message to other..unity is beautiful..Have a great celebration there!

Merry Christmas to you too, brother! Thank you for this truthful beautiful sharing. It touched my heart and moistened my eyes. One day we will find our way towards the world we always needed. I think those times come closer each day..

And may God bless you, Walter, for a wonderful message which goes straight to the heart. And to all my friends across the pond from Maine to Washington State Let us remember those less fortunate than ourselves now and forever.
