In Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol," when Ebenezer Scrooge cried out to his partner: "But you were always a good man of business, Jacob!" Marley's ghost then lamented: "The common welfare was my business and mercy, charity, forbearance, and benevolence were all my business! Mankind was my business, while the dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!" Then flowed remorse for missed opportunities and lost potential: "At this time of the rolling year," the spectre grieved, "I suffer most. Why did I walk thru crowds of fellow beings with my eyes turned down and never raise them to the blessed Star which led the Wise Men to a poor abode? Were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted me?" As we assist others to make the journey to Christ, may we make small contributions to the Christmas season. As Dickens wrote of Scrooge, may it be said of us that we knew how to keep Christmas well. And so, as Tiny Tim prayed: "God Bless Us, Every One!"
Autorenporträt
Phil Hudson and his wife Jan have 7 children and over twenty-five grandchildren. They enjoy spending time with their family at their cabin nestled in the Selkirk Mountains, on the shore of Priest Lake, the crown jewel of North Idaho. Phil had a successful dental practice in Spokane, Washington for 43 years, before retiring in 2015. He has an eclectic mix of hobbies, and enjoys the out of doors. He always finds time, however, to record his thoughts on his laptop, and understands Isaac Asimov's response when he was asked: If you knew that you had only 10 minutes left to live, what would you do?" He answered: "I'd type faster." Phil received the inspiration to write this book while he and Jan were serving as missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in the Kingdom of Tonga. While there, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.
