The Gift in Christmas

                                                                     
                                                  The Angel's Carol

One of the gifts I’ve received over the years is to realize the priceless importance of participating in those rituals and remembrances which nurture and enhance our spirits, our faith and our relationships.    

As we celebrate this Christmas Season in the midst of joyful blessings and sorrowful news, the Hope which inspires and sustains us lives on in the midst of these rituals and our relationships: 
………in our quiet moments spent with God, our prayers and worship shared in community, our relations with others, a lit candle, a favorite piece of music, a thought provoking read, a walk outdoors, reaching out to someone less fortunate, and being grateful for the people in your life, past and present.

That little baby born over 2000 years ago, Jesus ‘Yeshuah’, Emmanuel, El Shaddai, the Messiah, the Holy One, the Star of Jacob, who has been and is with you through all the rituals of your life: lives on and loves you perfectly, now, and forever and a day. 

God’s Gift to Us
The world was blessed long ago
with God’s gift to us of Love...
a guiding star, an angel choir
rejoicing from above.
All pointed to a tiny babe
born in a shepherd’s stall
a Saviour bringing peace on earth….
God With Us…Emmanuel
.
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given...and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
May your 12 Days of Christmas be filled with the Love and Wonder of 'the babe born in a manger', the One who came for us so long ago!
Shalom,
Susan
