Christmas Wish

“The most effective medicine here on this Earth is unconditional love.” – unknown

I woke up this morning thinking of two types of people working on Christmas Eve. Healthcare workers and pastors. The former must be so discouraged to see the Omicron fears and anticipate the number of people who might overflow their beds.

And the latter must be so disappointed to see the Omicron fears, knowing that it’ll keep people away from services and reduce the number of people in their pews on Christmas Eve.

Growing up in a pastor’s house, Christmas Eve was a big deal. It was a chance to celebrate with the congregation and whoever else came along the hope, peace and magic of a story. It was a chance to hear silence because regardless of anyone’s particular beliefs, it is a day we close our stores and change our schedules.

It makes me wish on this day where our bodies might not be able to go where we want to be, that at least our hearts can be in the right place. May the spirit of Christmas with its hope, peace and generosity fill us wherever we are!

  3. There is something about being in a church during Christmas and hearing the soul-soothing music sung by the church choir that is so magical. I hear you on the inevitable but necessary disappointment of not gathering as a congregation this year.

    Here’s to a merry Christmas despite the distance and wishing for a more positive year next year.

    Hope you and your family has a great one! 🎄🙏💕

    1. Oh, you describe it so well, Ab. I thought I’d take my kids to a small service but with the little one not vaccinated or very good about wearing his mask, I just couldn’t do it! Yes – a more positive year next year for sure!

      Hope you and your family has a great one too! ❤
