Of course the Spirit can...

 

From Stave Five, A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens:

What’s to-day.’ cried Scrooge, calling downward to a boy in Sunday clothes, who perhaps had loitered in to look about him.

`Eh.’ returned the boy, with all his might of wonder.

`What’s to-day, my fine fellow.’ said Scrooge.

`To-day.’ replied the boy. `Why, Christmas Day.’

`It’s Christmas Day.’ said Scrooge to himself. `I haven’t missed it. The Spirits have done it all in one night. They can do anything they like. Of course they can. Of course they can...'

And so it is. The Spirit can, and will, do amazing things, if given free rein. We spend far too much time orchestrating and planning and second-guessing, when, in fact, what we need to do (what I need to do) is learn how to trust. To exercise our Faith muscle. To believe.

And in the Spirit of Christmas and of the Spirit that animates us and guides us, I wish you and yours a blessed day.
