A warm Christmas blessing to all of you connected in any way to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church this morning, and to any family and friends you may connect with over the season.  If you are alone on this day, a special blessing to you.  May the birth of Jesus fill you with joy today.  May you know that the love of God surrounds you always.  May you in some small way feel and experience that love today.

Here is a Christmas poem by Ann Weems called ‘Godburst’.  I hope you find it as meaningful as I do:

When the Holy Child is born into our hearts

there is a rain of stars

a rushing of angels

a blaze of candles

this God burst into our lives.

Love is running through the streets.

That love Ann Weems talks about is running towards you, and through you.  Thanks be to God.
