In the beautiful words of my neice, Rev. Jo-Anne Thomas:
Now that the busyness and noise levels have lowered; the lights have dimmed and your tummies have enjoyed a feast of plenty, let your heart pause. Let your mind remember this historic day.
In the months and years to come, people will say, "Do you remember the 'Covid Christmas'?" And you will remember these moments. The challenges of distance... the struggle of contactless, cyber celebrations, the sorrow of lost traditions. But you will have been part of history.
Your story is important. Gratitude for all you have and all you've been given in the midst of it all, will be the "bell" that rings out Christmas cheer and love. Hold on to it. Blessing births blessing. May it be yours this year.
Happy New year to every one of you!
