Warmest Epiphany greetings to your home from that little home on the prairie to all dear family and friends around the world. What a joy to return home after three weeks on a mission of love in Ohio to the many letters and cards from family and friends all over the world. It has become a tradition in my life to write an epiphany letter each year on the morning of epiphany. Christmas is for always, and all year when you come to that little home on the prairie, you will see the lighted Christmas tree and a star. Grandchildren know there will be a small gift under the tree at the top of the stairs upon each visit. And we can't forget that cup of Christmas tea. And now let us go into our thoughts and spirits to Bethlehem. And like the angels, the shepherds, and the magi or wisemen, may we still seek him at that lowly manger. God sent his son in the form of a baby and humbled himself to show us something new - unconditional love and wholehearted forgiveness. It is quite significant that in this month of January that we have International Forgiveness week.
Letters from the reader of this column brought many thoughts and I would like to share these thoughts from an unknown author from one of the cards I received. "If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. If our greatest need heaven pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer. But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Savior."That Savior taught us many lessons for our greatest need. As the wise men of old went to Bethlehem to seek Him, we realized that today many wise men are still seeking Him. Seeking Him for many is a lifelong search. May we be guided to that perfect light.
