Prayer vs Mediation

"Prayers is when you talk to God; mediation is when you listen to God."
Diana Robinson

I knew that I was supposed to meditate but I never did get the hang of it.  I like this particular quote... it gives me something to do. I can just sit quietly and listen!   I guess that is what I was doing wrong. I never listened.  Gee, doesn't that sound familiar??

I found a box

While sorting out the Christmas room, I came across a box of old Christmas cards that had been sent to us over the year. No, I can't bring myself to give them away and after 30 odd years, they tend to add up. So, I  found an old cd to use as a pattern and cut the pretty part of the card and wrote the name of the sender on the back. Every once in a while the name would show up on the back in their own handwriting and that was even better! I'm going to use them to decorate the tree... as if I didn't have enough already. But, these are special. There are a lot from the immediate family and I want those on the tree.  I think that on Christmas day, we will take each one of them and send a little prayer up to heaven.
