Jesus takes what we offer to him, however small, the loaves and fish, and will multiply it greatly.

Just a few thoughts

·       Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence. -- Sheryl Sanberg

·       "Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your own personality. Be active, be energetic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

·       May children, at this time of the year, see in the holiness and charity of St Nicholas the true spirit of giving from the heart, and not be obsessed by asking for things.
