“What is Essential is Invisible to the Eye”
Today, more than half a century later, we can found more than ever that the quote is true.
We live in a highly visual world. Music that was “heard” only a decade ago is now “seen” on MTV. Corporate presentations that were handed out in typewritten sheets now use Powerpoint, complete with colored charts and moving images. Television, computer screens and videophones have long replaced the radio, typewriter and the old fashioned telephone.
But dear parents, we also want you to look beyond that. Certainly our children deserve more than a beautifully wrapped package. Listen to what they have to say. It isn’t the gift that counts. Let us help them learn that what we want for families isn’t a commercial holiday, but a chance to recognize the presence of Christ in our lives and the opportunity to share that with others. Let us help them look beneath that pretty face and see that she’s got substance that counts much more.
The beauty is really within, what is really important is the content and not the display. Learn how to appreciate what is really inside learn to believe even if not seen.
