Lent is a season of reflection that allows deepest longings for God to surface.

Lent highlights God's love through the Son's willing suffering and death to reveal the Father's love.

The narrative of Lent centers on longing: the Son's desire for humanity to know the Father.

Today's Verse - Luke 2:8-20

Boxing Day is traditionally the day after Christmas and derives its name from the practice of opening of "alms boxes". These boxes were located in the vestry of churches and Christians attending services over Christmas were encouraged to leave a financial gift for the poor. On Boxing Day church leaders distributed the funds to those in need.

How fitting that today's reading is an announcement made to the most ordinary and often the poorest people in the culture of that day - nomadic sheep-herders. After telling these awestruck individuals to not be afraid the angel announces hat Jesus' coming is "good news" of "great joy" for "everyone everywhere" both then and in the ages to follow - which includes us.

As we reflect on the miracle of the incarnation please understand that the message is good news not bad, that it is a reason for perpetual joy, and that it is for all, even you and me.

Thank you for joining us on this Christmas journey. May you, like Scrooge, say... "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach."

Prayer: Almighty God, help me to keep the spirit of Christmas all year round as I live every day with Jesus! Amen.
