Merry Christmas!

Tomorrow is the start of a great journey, we will drive 17 hours to Utah, and then I will fly 33 hours to Liberia.
I have spent all of the Holiday season bustling with preparations to travel out of the country.
I have prayed, pondered and planned for this time.
I reflect on the Season of Christmas, and the grand journey that the wise men took, I found this quote to which I do not know its origin.
take time to consider;
"If, as Herod, we fill our lives with things, and again with things; if we consider ourselves so unimportant that we must fill every moment of our lives with action, when will we have the time to make the long, slow journey across the desert as did the Magi? Or sit and watch the stars as did the shepherds? Or brood over the coming of the child as did Mary? For each one of us, there is a desert to travel. A star to discover. And a being within ourselves to bring to life."
What are we all busying our lives with? Is it pleasing unto Him? What is our personal mission, and how can we magnify our callings in life to Glorify Him!?
