It was a grey day, a moment suspended between the satisfaction of a morning's brisk work and the luxurious freedom of -- choosing what she would do before 4 the bombardment of family demands resurfaced. Such times tugged her mind between past procrastinations, future responsibilities demanding foresight, and the inward quiet whisperings of her soul yearning to express some feeling of creativity, quest, compassion, or volunteered her time to come in and 11 Kane County volunteer mothers are putting on their coats and mittens and taking to the streets for the March of Dimes Birth Defects.

If you are interested in taking the class or would Fkc more information, contact Alton Kopal, F.A.S.T. training officer at Today, she would respond to those whisperings that grew to match the thundrous beat of a heart overflowing with thoughts of gratefulness. For even though, she thought, we all live within the confines of the mind, what dark caverns they would become without the periodic infringement of the hopeful rays of friendship and love. With swelling gratitude, defying expression, she flung wide the windows of memory and basked in that light her friends so generously shared. Their cheerful conversations so often chased away the shadows of reality, refreshing the enthusiasm of things past and future. Their smiles radiating sincerity, always a voluminous feeling of welcome, whatever the occasion or request. She knew their genuine unselfishness gave her a glimpse of heavenly realms and a hopeful commitment to be worthy of such good friends. Though distance at times made companionship infrequent, her thoughts and conversation often drifted to those precious memories, which in their simplicity, seemed even more important as the years swallowed up her time with increasingly complex demands. This gift of unconditional friendship pervaded the s ;asonal feeling and her warm wishes to each one for the coming year seemed hopelessly inadequate. Completing the manger scene with three wisemen, she pondered their gifts to a child whose mission would reach over hundreds of years to touch her own hand with hope. A twinge of sorrow settled into her body as site wondered how so many in the world, unaware of the simplicity of His plan, survived the disappointments and injustices of this temporal world. Momentarily overwhelmed in her responsibility as a parent, she paused to ask, "If I were wise, what three gifts would I on a child" Without bestow hesitation, the first would be confi- dence, she thought, faith in his ability to conti 51 his destiny. Next would be the wisdom to see through the shallow persuasions of man's values to the eternal joy of Christlike attributes. Last, but so often undiscovered, unselfishness. ..unconditional, compassionate.... Overcome with gratitude for the examples and guidance she had received throughout her life, she knelt, whispering a simple but deeply sincere, "Thank you!" Ti.e season's meaning, viewed so personally at that moment, brought new meaning to the carols of joy that had been so taken for granted in the past. "Mommy! Mommy!" the de- manding cry shattered her reflective mood. She quickly rose to make an insignificant rescue. Hurriedly, she promised herself she would never be quite so apathetic again. She could see everything so clearly now. How much more meaningful the words would be... "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me!" " . . Wish Book" by Holli Crosby Valpolc I thought the whole world had a wish book When Christmas shopping time drew near. How else could one plan in secret Their gift lists for loved ones dear. Our small country town was somewhat void Of big city department stores. So for us to find the perfect gift Through the catalogues of Sears and Pcnncys we tore. With brother and sisters elbow to elbow Sandwiched on the couch with pens, We'd wrestle through the toy pages Choosing and cheering together like friends. Then beg and plead with Mom and Dad For the hundred things we found there. Yet knowing full well that money was tight And gently compromise was our fare As a child I even thought Ole Santa Had to order all things through the mails, 'Cause somehow his magical workshop Couldn't match the catalogue's special sales. Excitedly we counted the days until The brown packages the postman took. Thankful for parents who loved us enough To spirit our joy with a Christmas Wish Book. LLL To Raise Funds For Hospital The Ladies Literary League wants to get cn the bandwagon in helping our local hospital buy some of its badly needed new equipment by giving $iCl to start and we are going to sell rickets on a quilt.

We challenge all other organiza- tions, clubs, pnvate or otherwise, and concerned citizens to rally around and donate or have fund ra sers. We need the hospital and they need our supjiort. |
