I get upset about it, because I feel that we American Christians make too much of it, and too little. Too little of it, because we pile all sorts of other things onto it, including some that have only the feeblest connection with the Event it is supposed to commemorate. If God did become a man, in any real sense, it is the most important thing that ever happened. Surely we, who believe it, could well devote one day a year to uninterrupted contemplation of the fact, and let Saturnalia fall on the winter solstice, where it belongs.   On the other hand, we make so much of the actual birth, and forget the things that make it more than just the birth of a baby (though even that is, in Walt Whitman's phrase, "miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels") -- more, even, than the birth of the greatest man who ever lived. We forget the promise to Eve of a descendant who will solve the problem of Evil; the promise to Abraham of one by whom all mankind will be blessed; the promise to Moses of a greater prophet than he, to arise from his people; and the promise to David of a Son who would be his Master. We forget about the eternal Purpose behind it all: it's like telling a story and leaving out the point. Yes, it is true that God gave us His Son, and so maybe we ought also to give gifts -- but what, and to whom? It is also true that God gave us Himself, and the only sensible response to that is to give ourselves to Him. There is nothing else that He wants from us, or, if there is something, He can take it. Only I, my ego, my heart, is truly mine to give or to withhold -- and is therefore the appropriate gift to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is rather like a tin of sardines, we're all of us looking for the key. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23689]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is rather like a tin of sardines, we're all of us looking for the key.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bridget of Sweden, Abbess of Vadstena, 1373 "In pastures green"?

Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ... Anonymous    July 24, 1998  Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  If thou shalt remain faithful and zealous in labour, doubt not that God shall be faithful and bountiful in rewarding thee. It is thy duty to have a good hope that thou wilt attain the victory: but thou must not fall into security lest thou become slothful or lifted up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll always be poor in my mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31470]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll always be poor in my mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The defense budget is more than a piggy bank for people who want to get busy beating swords into pork ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4964]]></link><description><![CDATA[The defense budget is more than a piggy bank for people who want to get busy beating swords into pork barrels]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We didn't think it would hit, so we didn't pack. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42635]]></link><description><![CDATA[We didn't think it would hit, so we didn't pack.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I wish I lived back in the old west days, because I'd save up my money for about twenty years ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11695]]></link><description><![CDATA[I wish I lived back in the old west days, because I'd save up my money for about twenty years so I could buy a solid-gold pick.
