Love arrived overnight, amidst the shining stars and angel songs, a love so needed and longed for in our broken world. I stand as a witness to Love. I am so blessed in so many ways. As the music group wrapped up the pre-mass carols with Count Your Blessings, I could not help but say thank You.
I had had a wonderful day with friends...from start to end. Today was also a fabulous day with blessings pouring forth. Family time was good. I realize that each year might be our last gathering as this particular clan and so I am more appreciative than I perhaps could have been in earlier years.
God gave such a great gift in becoming Human. In that moment of Love coming to earth as a frail and vulnerable infant, we catch a glimpse of the absurdity of God's plan. Imagine being able to hold God in our hands and coo over the Beauty that rests there! How blessed are we? Can we comprehend that Love came to break the bonds of hate and to free us from all that binds us? Jesus is our Saviour and yet at the same time, he is our brother. He knows our struggles and encountered plenty of his own while he shared this space on earth. This Love knows well our sorrows and joys. He sat at family suppers, lost a beloved father, laughed with friends as only friends can do, gave completely of himself to those who needed him, and rested in the knowledge that he was Loved too.
This Christmas Love is wished you now and throughout the coming year. Merry Christmas!
Peace,
Suzanne
