This is most likely the first time in modern history
that we are encouraged to celebrate the season of Christmas in its purest form,
in its simplicity. Amid all of this, we've been thinking about how to enjoy
Christmas this year with only family members who live in the same place. We're
thinking about wearing masks, keeping social distance in check, and washing our
hands frequently. For our mutual security and safety, we are being prevented
from visiting one another. This year, we won't be able to enjoy the typical
Christmas cheer and merrymaking.
COVID, on the other hand, should not detract from our Christmas
celebrations! This Season, let us share more hope, peace, joy, and love!
This
is where I am reminded of our Savior's birth. Simply said, it's a Christmas
story. Only his mother and father were present when our Lord and Savior was
born in a manger. A shepherd, a few animals, and the three magi were among his
guests. It serves as a heartfelt reminder of the genuine meaning of the holiday
season. We've all had a rough year this year, but we're still holding on to
hope. God is with us, has always been with us, and will always be with us,
despite all the chaos and dread that the pandemic has brought. The world's
light is Jesus!
May
our hearts continue to be open to the infant Jesus, our lives continue to
reflect Christ's presence, and our homes continue to be a beacon of God's
peace. We will all be able to go through this crisis together if we have a lot
of faith, hope, and love.
