December 2010 Archives

With so much bad news continually pumped out by the mainstream media, it's no coincidence that I have chosen to remind us how blessed many of us are this Christmas.

Barbara Williams' loved ones have woken up to resume yesterday's nightmare. Yes, their dear relative/ friend was savaged to death by a vicious dog in her own home in London.

Likewise, the parents of Joanna Yeates have to deal with Christmas not knowing where their daughter is or even what happened to her since she was last seen in Bristol last week.

In our age when so much focus is put on what others have that we don't, perhaps we should reverse the trend. What about the things that we have that others don't? Things as easy to take for granted as our relative good health? How about the love and presence of our nearest and dearest?

In our merriment and celebration of all that is good about this Christmas season, let's not take anything or anyone that blesses our lives for granted.

Merry Christmas.
God bless you and yours
