For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty... that no flesh should glory in His presence.... —that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.”
1 Corinthians 1:26-31

'The Hope of the Whole World': John Cullimore
John Cullimore has a really good post up (he's had alot of good ones recently) called 'The Hope of the Whole World'. What John said about the treatment of an autistic boy, Neal, compared with how God entered our world, really struck me.
What a profound and meaningful metaphor for us at Christmas time. Using this example in thinking about what Christ did for us, I ask myself how many people's worlds do I fail to "enter" because it's just "too hard" to love that much.
I feel the same way, Christine. It puts things in perspective; that the people in our lives are the most important, and we can never give too much love.

Hey Jennie,
Thanks so much for reposting that.
I have had a whole lot on my heart lately. But it means a lot that you helped spread the word.
