L.O.L. It is not a good thing for man, woman or child to have in heart or soul any special cares on the eve which marks the birth of our Savior.
Certainly, in time of war we are a people beset with unusual concerns for our lives but for those of thousands upon thousands of people all around the world. Not only does such physical strife cause us worry and doubts, but we also have all-too-near memories of tsunami waves, hurricanes, floods and kindred mishaps with Nature. All of these haunt us in many ways. Certainly there has never been such a Christmas tide for recent decades; such a crushing time marked by the lack of love flowing among us.
We need to be reminded, however, that love remains constant. It is still there; it remains steadfastly in place, but it is very much obscured by such lrcoomvwar, and other maladies which harm the very fabric of our being in special profusion at this moment in our history. The wars at hand, mishaps, disease, poverty, ignorance, famine, illness of many kinds and – above all - tragic oversights in care and maintenance of people and principles.

Oddly enough it is only if we do not think about the problem and do something about it that real damage is done. It can be good if we think about our problems, and pray about them during these glory-fortified times of the year. Now is when the reflection of the reality of his birth and of his presence in our daily lives if we so will it to be. That's a sapecailxtimeinoujr life sequence when we are most closely tuned to His precense with us.
