What Is Lonnie's Room?

There is a room in our home to which I navigate more frequently than the others. It makes me feel secure, it is cozy, and it is quiet. From the peak of the room, there is a large rusty metal angel suspended by a very thin wire. It would apear as if the angel is hovering over me, protecting, and always present. The lighting in the room creates a virtual display of dancing shadows around the angel.

Every evening when I am in "MY ROOM", I think of what Luciano de Crescenzo once said, "We are all like one-winged angels. it is only when we help each other that we can fly."

Life's Boundaries

We are officially in the Christmas season and one witnesses all the activities that belong to that season.  After watching several Hallmark Christmas movies, I am amazed at how many ways they create the meaning of Christmas.  In one of the movies yesterday, there was a phrase that caught my attention:  "If a man's life is measured by the joy he brings to others, then his life has no boundaries". We develop our boundaries at an early age through parental disciplines and our own self image, worth and esteem.  It may take years for us to develop new boundaries, breaking down old walls and building new ones.  It is all about how we want to live our life and deciding what kind of person we want to be.  Christmas is always a good starting point as there are abundant opportunities to help other people, bring some small token of joy to a person's life, and create new friendships.  If you know of someone who is spending the holiday without family, invite them into your family and share your joy.......your life will be enriched and your boundaries will be diminished.  God bless and have a wonderful Christmas Season.
