Christmas

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what [who] lies within us. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
With Christmas comes the end of yet another year. I believe the close proximity of one to the other is no coincidence. During these days, we tend to review the past year with some regrets and anticipate the next with a degree of uncertainity and fear. Thus, what an appropriate time to reflex upon the Lord Jesus and His visit to this earth some 2,000 years ago.
During the waning years of the turmultuous first century, the apostle John wrote the following to assure some rather unsettled saints, He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. When we have invited Christ into our hearts, the earthly events of the past, present, and future have no bearing on our eternal wellbeing.
Have a merry Christmas from our family to yours.
