JOHN D.M. WOOD, BENMILLER-VICTORIA STREET UNITED CHURCHES "Christmas is more than a day at the end of the year, More than a season of joy and good cheer; Christmas is really God's pattern for living To be followed all year by unselfish giving... But as soon as the tinsel is stripped from the tree The spirit of Christmas fades silently Into the background of daily routine And is lost in the whirl of life's busy scene. But if we lived Christmas each day as we should, And made it our aim to always do good, We'd know the great joy of peace upon earth Which was the real purpose of ourSaviour's birth. For in the glad tidings of the first Christmas night, God showed us the way and the truth and the light!" Helen S. Rice composed this thoughtful Christmas sonnet. It tchoes for us the cen- trality of the incarnation. "The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw His glory, the glory which He received as the Father's only Son" (St. John 1:14 TEV ). Let us make the following Advent prayer our own: 0 God, w'e pause with aroused expectation on the threshold of"yet another Christmas. Make us sensitive to the sights and sounds of the approaching birthday of the Christ Child. The bustling shopping centres may remind us of the crowds which filled the MINISTER'S STUDY streets of Bethlehem and stretched accom- modation at the inns and the spare rooms in private homes. The emergency sign in front of a hospital may remind us of the rough entry of a gentle child into a world of traditional memories and contemporary crises. The coming and going of neighbours an friends and the pil- ing up of gifts under a Christmas tree may remind us of the happy, curious, wondering people who visited a child in a stable. We pray for those who feel themselves to be more than a lonely crowd of punch -holes in a computerized census. We pray for those who are walking through the frightening dark and do not have a star to guide them. We pray for those who have lost their sense of wonder and expect no new idea and who have long ago stopped asking questions. We pray for those who have put Christ and His church on their "no room" list and who stumble on alone to face the futility of a future without purpose. We thank You for joyous imaginations which help us to celebrate again the coming of Christ into our world. By this recurring festival we know that You have come to be with us in our homes, offices, farms, chur- ches, shopping plazas and places of recrea- tion. Be with us at our Christmas worship and celebration when crib and cross remind us of Your inexpressive gift of love and so real through the giving, living and re -living of Your Son, Jesus Christ.
