The gift


This morning, Christmas eve, we woke to find the world outside our frosted windows miraculously adorned in sparkling white, or at least it felt miraculous: the sudden transformation of even the ugliest edges, roads and ruts, wires, poles and structures into objects of wonder in a magical landscape. The lofty and low, the prized and despised, the precious and neglected, subjected to the beneficent equity of snowfall. Everything made new. A clean slate. Racket and commotion absorbed into its calm purity. Stillness, awe, goodwill. Peace on earth. And though snowfall in Bethlehem remains a rare event, a White Christmas somehow feels like a "real" Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Immanuel: "God with us." All of us.
Let it snow.

This is a very interesting blog. A lot of articles I read nowadays don't really offer anything that I'm enthusiastic about, but I'm most certainly hooked about this one.
Also, take a look at the latest post on a very genuine website. The post is related to How to Improve aim in PS4 or PS5. Visit the article How to aim better in warzone PS4 and have a happy information reading.
