Christmas Eve

Again it snowed - and agian.  I drove home past snowman after snowman today through a landscape that was so beautiful it almost hurts the eye.   Over the last week I have said "it's snowing " uncountable times.  Now I step down from pavement to the flag stone at the bottom of the steps to our house.  It is raised up normally - it is clear of snow, the pavement is not.   

I was reflecting on the fact that no snowflake is like the next , every snow flake that has fallen on us this week is unique.  People of faith dare to believe in a God who could envisage such an amazing thing.  Christians belive that this God became part of the creation, not as some mighy and wonder supernova, a great galatic sphere, but a baby - weak and helpless - surrendering all his glory power and majesty for a food trough to sleep in.   If they are right, then surely this is a God who deserves our love?

Happy Christmas and may the peace and joy of the Christ child reach into every part of your life.
