Christmas Presence

**Sit quietly, eyes closed and in silence for one minute before reading.**

    Our hearts are tender at Christmas-time. Some are grieving, some are overwhelmed with joy and many are a mixture of both. In reflecting on life and considering the lives of those I love, comes the reminder that we are broken, that we suffer, that we struggle and that we need someone with us.

    Emmanuel - God with us. There is such great comfort that comes with presence and this is the beauty of Christmas. We are not alone, have never been alone nor will we ever be alone.

    Emmanuel - the great beauty of Christmas that only grows deeper and richer within us as we sit and consider the great God of the universe coming to us, to be with us.

    Will you sit with him today?

**Sit again in silence for as long as is available to you.**
