Flourishing are the black sheep for their wool absorbs more Sunlight of the Spirit and when they arrive at the marketplace (agora) one’s true value and purpose is found and realized in the knowledge of their unworthiness and that cup runneth-over-ness of gratitude for God’s Love and Grace we all share in a Christ Jesus, our souls’ true birthright. Merry Christmas, HT.
