Of all times, it is Christmas when we must surely realize that there can be no true worship of Him who is the Christ without giving of ourselves.

For these they will receive from the Lord the reward and recompense they deserve.

Instead of images on canvas or in the form of statuary or music, we give our body, voice, feelings, will, imagination — we give a form of pulsating art to life itself; we give it to our characters and we give it to our audiences. Nothing, absolutely nothing remains for us save the pleasure of having given pleasure.

You cannot “catch” anything unless you think you can, and thinking you can is inviting it to you with your thought.
