December, and the nights are long and days dark and foggy. Much of nature is already in it’s winter sleep but the robin still struggles through all weathers to call for their feed and enjoy the berries on the bushes.
As civilised human beings all your thoughts are on Christmas and all it will bring. As you are all individuals with different teachings so you will all have different aspirations. When you are working out and counting your finances, writing cards and spreading this wonderful feeling of giving and receiving, will you give your most valuable asset to God?
Take a few minutes in meditation and think of our Divine Creator. Although you are all a part of God, just think of the heartache when He sent His Son to this Earth when you were all barbarians. Yet this was the act that put Christianity into the world.
As you meditate, take your mind back to that night when all the stars in the sky, all of nature and all the creatures knew it was a special night and, regardless of where you are and how or where you are living, you will feel the magic of that special night. Most of us were there that night and just added on the list that another baby was born, and after 2,000 years He is still trying to get through to many people.
Listen to the children in their nativity plays and take in the carols you sing. Don’t put these feelings away for another year. Try to walk in Christ’s footsteps every day and think of His words every time you open your mouth. LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
