For A Child Is Born.

We reflect upon this day, for it was some

two thousand and forty years ago,

a child was born in Bethlehem.


From the church service we attended we are told to think about the wonderful things in life we are thankful for. We are also told to think about the the people who may be going through rough times. For the less fortunate. For we all are God's children.


At church, Father spoke of the atheist people in the world . They must have an emptiness of meaning, an empty purpose in life, an empty reason to not believe in one's own existent. What feelings do they have today. We pray that their life has meaning and they may someday have the love and joy that our God has given us.

Luke 2:9-@:14

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

For the first people to visit baby Jesus were the shepherds, the poor of the time. For they watched their flocks and were told in heavenly glory that they would find a child wrapped in swaddling cloths and lay in a manger.

The next group to visit our Lord were the three wise men. They followed a star to Bethlehem. For they were of wealth and still came to see the wonder of God through the eyes of his son.

Whether it is the rich or poor, all have room in God's world. All are God's children. God loves us , no matter what sins we have committed. His forgiveness is the many wonders of His world.

With all the gifts we open , with all the holiday cheer we make drink, we reflect on our faith, we reflect on our values , we reflect on our beliefs and all the good in this world. We reflect on what God has given us. And yes we also think and pray for the less fortunate , even for the non believers.

From our family to yours ,

MERRY CHRISTMAS
