Speaking from the heart

Bettie Gray

The 2003 holiday season has slipped into the past tense, and your copy of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas—whether print, video, or DVD—is probably packed away by now, getting a much-needed rest. But after taking a look at this issue's articles on "Hearts healed," I just couldn't help thinking one more time about the Grinch's heart, a heart "two sizes too small."

The Grinch didn't need to have his heart replaced. He just needed the love that was already in his heart to be awakened, and put to work. And that's just what happened when he caught a glimpse of the real meaning of Christmas. His life was transformed by love. And his heart followed suit.

This week's writers are real-life people writing in prose rather than verse. And they have far more in common with those in Seuss's tale who kept Christmas in their hearts then they do with the Grinch. But, like the Grinch, they did find positive change when they discerned the spirituality that heals hearts.
