We wish them all luck, health and endless happiness. Romantic it maybe - and why not ! Just as Prince Charles gave us oppor- tunity to see what our Queen is really like, so Jesus gives us opportunity to see what God is really like - the Queen’s Christmas message in 2012 IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS reminded us that “God sent his only AND CONTRIBUTORS son ‘to serve, not to be served’.
