We are experiencing our first white Christmas in I don't know how long. This is a little snow-capped bush in a corner of the walled Garden. It's a very beautiful and we are so lucky to be indoors warm, dry and cosy when it's -16 outside tonight. We have good food and the company of our loved ones in the warm glow of a Christmas Tree; blessed indeed. Many, many, others tonight will not be so fortunate. This on a planet when there is more than enough to go round with a minority of powerful individuals and groups who seem to believe that success can only, indeed must only, come at the expense of others. As the churches and cathedrals are filled with drouthy revellers ready to belt out "Hark The Herald Angels Sing!" on beery breath with glassy eyes during their only visit to a holy place in a whole year-yet again. WE need to extrapolate that feeling to the rest of the year by living the message of Christ EVERY day, treating that day as if it were our last-If we all chose to be that loving then all the world could indeed become the Christ-Mass celebration every day and we could all know loving, lasting peace at last. Just think....if this WAS my last day on earth, would I behave any differently to others?
