Reflections: He can bring us together

December:

The last month of our year.

It is Advent in the church

year. It is the first month

in our Savior’s year. December is different for all of us but it is the time of year we all

come together. It could happen

downtown at the lighting

of the Christmas tree, with

our children / grandchildren

at the local schools, around

our tables at home for a

family meal, or at the church of our choosing to celebrate the

birth of Jesus. Yes, the

reason for us to be kind to

each other and to wish

each other a Merry Christmas. We are all in a festive mood. We all enjoy this cold

crisp month. Let’s us all remember that Jesus is our Lord and Savior; that even after over 2000 years He

can still bring us together in a way that no one else can. The Love of Jesus toward us is unconditional. May we as

children of God have

the same Love for our earthly friends.
