Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long
as ever you can.

On the fifth day of Christmas...
I looked across at the sea and considered time.
A sea that continues to roll towards shore today, yesterday and forever.
A God who continues to care, yesterday, today and forever.
And each year comes again in the shape of a baby -
Something we can relate to,
Something so small,
So innocent,
So full of promise.
And yet as the waves role in,
this God of love channels it all through those events in a smelly stable
away from the lime light,
quietly offering to change the shape of the world
yesterday, today and forever.
Your will be done
