Happy Holidays. Happy Hannukah. Merry Christmas. Happy Kwanzaa. I am reminded by a quote of Mother Teresa who once said, "I love all religions but I am in love with my own religion." Agree that we are all God's children and we are to love, honor, serve, and accept each as we serve God. Blessings to all and thank you, Devin, for such a personalized message to your subscribers. I truly feel you have developed quite a close-knit online community with Superpowers for Good. You are our modern-day Mr. Rogers' and I love being a part of your neighborhood.

That's a great quote from Mother Teresa. When I lived in China, I felt a special kinship with the Muslims. They literally wore their religion on their heads. Very few people in China are religious, so when I saw the Muslims, I always felt there was a little bond. We frequently ate at their restaurants. Thanks for your kind note! While I'm no Mr. Rogers, he's a hero to me, so I appreciate your comment. Thank you so much!

Merry Christmas, Devin! We both were educated in religions where service to others is a foundational belief. During my education at DeMatha Catholic High School in Maryland, we were expected to provide volunteer hours of service. Those hours benefitted me in many ways - most importantly, I learned to give to others without the receipt of any compensation - and learn the value of accepting a sincere smile of gratitude.
