Matayu 5:7

Norėčiau su jumis pasidalyti esmine gyvenimui mintimi. Ji yra iš 1 psalmės: „Palaimintas žmogus, kuris nesielgia, kaip pataria bedieviai, nestoja į nusidėjėlių kelią, nesėdi su apjuokėjais.“ Ši eilutė moko mus krikščioniškos gyvensenos, tiksliau – kaip gyventi neturėtume.

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but also very busy.  Come away for a few moments of rest and worship that will sustain you throughout the merry labors of the season.
