Merry Christmas, beloved friends. May Christ’s peace be with you, always.

How are you? I hope you are finding times of joy. Moments when the love of God shines through the clouds that have appeared this year. The story of Jesus’ birth is not completely a beautiful one. The birth of Jesus was not easy. But in the midst of all these difficulties, the beautiful, amazing, and immense love of God was made tangible in a tiny little baby. Remind yourself―and the world―of the message the angels proclaimed: Do not be afraid! Good news! Great joy!
