On that first Christmas love came down and kissed the earth and the world was on the verge of change. One tiny baby, a tired mother and father, the donkey resting and cattle gathering around a stable manger as shepherds and sheep arrived to see where and why the star had led them. Love, that is what Christmas is about, and it is needed no less in our world today than it did on that first Christmas. There will be many, many hundreds of people experiencing horrendous loss, grief and a sense of hopeless this Christmas with the massive drought and destructive,mega, unprecedented bush fires that are ravaging our country, but amidst it all there will be stories of sacrifice and love. Euripides wrote: Love is all we have, the only way that each can help the other.
May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways.
Anne, servant of the Lord.
