A Christmas Reflection By the time you read this, the shops will have been selling Christmas paraphernalia for a couple of months and we will be getting fed up with the adverts on TV. I feel that this year, more than ever, Christmas is viewed by many as the great retail opportunity. The pressure to get bigger and better presents, revamp our décor in this seasons colours, more food, more presents, more …. Although for some it is a bit of fun, for many it is a source of stress and worry, so that by the time Christmas really comes they are exhausted! Yet at the heart of Christmas is the baby who had nothing, born in a stable, sleeping in the manger far from his parents home. The miracle of loving sacrifice of one who gave up divine power and majesty to come and live with us. Emmanuel – means God with us. Maybe that is why we love to sing again the Carols, not just nostalgia, but because the images they conjure up take us beyond the glitz and tinsel to innocence and love. The true meaning of Christmas. I am sure you have your own favourite carols at this time of year and I hope that you will join us at one of our many services this Christmas and have an opportunity to stop, reflect and enjoy the peace of being with God.
