If there’s any one lesson we can learn from the Nativity event, it is that "it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born to eternal life."
Indeed, Christmas should inspire us all to so love the world that we make of ourselves a gift to our neighbors far and near. As one unknown author has written:
When the song of the angels is stilled
When the star in the sky is gone
When the kings and princes are home
When the shepherds are back with their flocks
The work of Christmas begins;
To find the lost,
To heal the broken
To feed the hungry
To release the prisoner
To rebuild the nations
To bring peace among people everywhere.
On behalf of all of us at the Family Life Resource Center, we wish you the very best during this special season. May the good work of Christmas begin in each of us.
