Breathing in Christmas

I wonder where your mind went, when you read the title "Breathing in Christmas". Some people in looking ahead to all that needs to be done in the preparation for and attending of Christmas gatherings and events might have thought along the lines of, “I hope to be able to have the time to breathe”. 

Contrary to our often busy approach to Christmas, God invites us to be still and to breathe in His spirit of love and peace. The simplicity of the baby in a manager invites us to pause and reflect on God’s tremendous love for us. God comes to us in ways unexpected and often unseen. Over this Christmas period, our hope is that you see God’s love for you in the still moments, in the moments of connecting with family and friends, in the joy of connecting with nature and in experiences filled with fun. Our prayer is that you breathe in and are refreshed and renewed by God’s love, grace and peace.
