Pretty Paper

Christmas (yes, Christmas) is just beyond the horizon, although even in some stores now, it’s front and center.   This is the time when the Word became incarnate.  It’s also the time for us to remember those in need.  It’s when we find many on the streets who are homeless and sad.  We’re to be the Word for them and not walk on by.  

I’m reminded of Christmas and those left behind by Country Western singer Willie Nelson whose Christmas CD I recently found in Mary’s Closet – the thrift shop of Corpus Christi in Sandwich.   Listen to “Pretty Paper,” and you’ll know what I mean.
