The Humble and Genuine Story of Christmas

Almost everyday our local and national news all around the world reports on new born family stories of Mothers giving birth along the roadside, in trains, airplanes, buses, inside fire trucks, and on boats; this being a reminder that nothing will prepare you for perfect family stories.

This was also the humble and genuine story of Christmas a family celebration of a baby born in a stable and placed in a manger of hay.

The relevance of Christmas celebrations is to embrace family in humbleness knowing that there is no perfection in the natural evolvement of human life.

Given that this is a special moment and time of the year of life itself we must do our best to show appreciation for our family by accepting ourself as humans in the the face of passiveness.

‘Let the heaven rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound ,and all that is in it ; let the fields be jubilant ,and everything in them; Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy’ Psalm 96 Verse 11-12.

May joy surround you and peace fill your heart with love and the fullness of humility in this graceful Christmas time period and all through the New Year.

Joyeux Noel et Bonne Fete!
