Second Day of Christmas

December 27
The reality that I am a unique expression of God means I have an irremovable holiness – dignity. I am irreplaceable and because of this I deserve to be treated in certain ways. So does everyone else. It is not easy to realize the depth of my value, but when I do there is an incredible “A-ha!” Now I have to expand my view to see that every person I meet has the same depth of value for the exact same reason I do – their uniqueness as an expression of God. God’s ironic grin is impressive – our uniqueness binds us together as possessing the same core dignity. This is the second gift of Christmas; everyone’s uniqueness makes them just as valuable as I am. So much for my big head. Merry Christmas!
