Grace Russell is the mother of Rose Weiner. Now enjoy the spiritual insight and wisdom from one of the remaining members of America's Greatest Generation.

These meditations on the true meaning of Christmas will help you recapture the child-like spirit in your life - without which Jesus told us we will not be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.

For over twenty-five years, Grace  wrote a newspaper column for spiritual reflection. At Christmas time,  she focused on encouraging people to develop a childlike faith.  Jesus pointed out the importance of this type of faith. These meditations have lifted the hearts of many down through the years.  Read them and see if they will not only help you  recapture that childhood enthusiasm and faith that made your Christmases so much fun when you were younger, but will also learn how you can keep that same spirit all year .
      If you don’t have a memory of this type of love and spirit, it’s not to late to start.The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of Christ Himself - it is one of kindness and love that enriches everyone it touches. May it fill your heart and overflow into the hearts of those you love as you read and remember and look forward to the special joys of this season. Looking at the world with the love that prompted God to send Jesus in the first place is a wonderful way to experience the joy of the Lord which really is our strength.
