Christmas is a joyous, but oft bittersweet time. We gather with those we love, but notice the absence of those who have left this this mortal existance. We longingly speak of peace, yet we look around us and find ourselves surrounded by hate, strife and endless war.
The one constant is Him, and faith that He will someday give us peace; peace on earth, and adequate peace within ourselves to deserve it.
For this Christmas Eve, I offer this bit of video -- one of my favorites. Though it is set to Mannheim Steamroller’s “Silent Night”, a traditional Christian Hymn, I would hope that all of us here can share it’s meaning. In our quest for peace, let us never forget there is such a thing as a “just war”; the struggle in which we are involved is one that is truly between good and evil.
May we always find solice with Him, for without Him, we will never know peace.
Merry Christmas, and may God’s purpose always be our own.
