As for you, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will free your prisoners from the waterless pit. (Zech. 9:11)

This Christmas, the gift that I’m most grateful for was not one wrapped and placed under the tree. Things didn’t make this holiday special for me; friends did. Kindness and inclusion are the acts that I will remember.

There is a quote attributed to Mahatma Gandhi: “If you don’t ask, you don’t get it.” I’m not sure that was Gandhi’s exact wording, and I’m not sure he would appreciate my use of the phrase, but I thought I’d test this theory out with my spouse this Christmas.

Sometimes when I’m out and about and encounter a parent/parents with a newborn baby I “ooh” and “aah” about the beautiful child – what newborn isn’t the cutest baby in Canada? – then I ask if its their first one and how it’s going, and whether they are getting any sleep, etc.
