Where do you need hope this year?
That is what Christmas is all about.
We celebrate the coming of hope into our lives. The true power of
Christmas is the coming of hope, of promise, of a renewed vision for
the world.
Hope can come in the way hearts are
opened and people come to understand what it means to live in peace
and harmony with their neighbours. Just look at the classic
characters Scrooge and the Grinch. If even they can change then
there is hope.
Hope can come in the form of new life.
How many people, looking at the face of their newborn child, can
resist that sense of hope and excitement? We may know that the child
in our arms will not always have an easy life but we still see the
potential for amazing things lying there wrapped in a blanket.
Wherever you need hope this year may it
be a part of your Christmas. The story we tell about a baby born in
a manger is the story of a God who never gives up. Christmas reminds
us that God is with us, that God works with us to bring a better
future. May God walk with you at Christmas and throughout the New
Year!
Merry Christmas from all of us at St.
Paul's United Church!
