Merry Christmas!
It’s Christmas night – a time to reflect on the joy of the moment. Today we celebrated the greatest gift ever given and my prayer is that you embraced the tenderness and joy that this gift offers. I am concluding tonight with an excerpt from Ann Voskamp’s ‘The Greatest Gift‘ advent book as it captures this time so very well…
“Christ came into the world for you- and you came into the world for him.
The world will be still tonight.
There will be lingering, longing. We will long for this wonder to go on. One Christmas candle will flame in the quiet. This CANNOT FADE – none of this can ever fade.
‘For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given’ (Isaiah 9:6)’
God is with us.”
That’s all I need – all we need. God is with us. As we sit in silence to embrace whatever this day offers to us, be it joy, tears or love, we have what we need: God is with us indeed.
Merry Christmas from my sweet family to yours!
