Christmas wishes from Downunder!

It’s time to say ‘Happy Christmas’… and reflect on the birth of Christ! Praise God for allowing his son to come to earth as an innocent, helpless Child to live a human life!

I was sent this encouraging quote this past week that I thought I’d share with you all.

“Sometimes our light goes out but is blown again into flame by an encounter with another human being. Each of us owes the deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this inner light.” Albert Schweitzer

This Christmas lets reflect on those who’ve quietly invested in our lives. Isn’t it interesting seeing who indeed has been brought our way during the different seasons we go through to encourage us! I’m truly grateful for my friends. Some of you I know real well… some of you I’ve met on the road just for an hour or two… some via twitter or this blog.

I pray that this Christmas you (and I) are encouraged and brought to a deeper understanding of the true friendship we can have with Christ, the KING who was born on Christmas day over 2000 years ago. And also that we can realise how much impact we can have on someone else’s life by giving some time, resources and love. If you have a minute free check out this video from our local Brissy radio station, 96.5 and see one of their local DJ’s, Liam Renton, take to the street for a week to find out what its really like being homeless. Certainly leaves you with something to think about!

So blessings to you this Christmas from ‘Downunder’.
