I've been working on this tree topper for years. I want it to express my beautiful faith, and it does. The Crown of Thorns reminds us of this baby's destiny. The lilies sing of the beauty and sacredness of the death whose clock starts ticking now. The red berries proclaim the power of his blood both in its origin and in its purpose. I loved it until I took a picture and looked at the details. I left the price tags on. One unattractive stem is simply hanging out there. The top of the tree is still visible. I immediately stopped seeing the meaning allowing minor details to rob me of this moment of faith. My god shifted from the Christ to the details. It was all about me, maybe it had been all along. Bringing my heart back to purpose has been today's challenge, to remember who I am celebrating not how.
