Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Charity

I Corinthians 13:4 - 7 and 13
4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind, charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.

5. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.

7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Giving to charity is a great way to balance the commercial side of Christmas!

A scripture to live by. And I wrote down the Psalm number from above the current post. Thank you for this.
