The Greatest in the Kingdom

(Mark 9:33–41; Luke 9:46–50)

1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

2Jesus invited a little child to stand among them. 3“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.

Yes, the greatest truth, and the most beautiful truth.

Only drunks and children tell the truth. And maybe the crazies also tell the truth, during a moment of clarity. Everyone else is a Cretan.

It's a bit early to be celebrating Christmas int it?

Not really, I guess we should be celebrating the meaning of Christmas every day of our lives.

Have a good Xmas every day Celia Brown

I used to put a tiny christmas tree also portable ,in my room ,growing up .

Added increasingly nasty origami models ,small is harder,over years .The tiny lobster 14 appendages ,eyes an all -is so many inside& out topology reversals ,that I stopped doing John Montroll's topology prof models ,when the local Amsterdam japanese shop just ran out of more interesting stuff to attempt .

Then discovered that some models are best folded in grief - when best friends were going back to scotland ....Then the grasshoppers got really tiny .

All double sided metal foil high quality paper .

Then I noticed animals ,real ones listen to silences .

That was far more interesting .
