As the Christmas season is here, set aside the noise, the busyness, the activities, and the plans. Celebrate the season, not only with a quietness of heart and mind, but with all the senses. Allow the Sprit to heighten your senses and abilities, and understand that all five human senses have their spiritual counterparts.
