Contrary to what some in this world  think Christmas is not about the gifts ,shopping and the and noise of the Season. . Those are a few of the aspects that evolved as a celebration of the birth and Miracle of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem . Gifts parties etc are a fun extension of this celebration. but, they pale in comparison to what Jesus birth did for mankind. Each and every one of us.

The beauty of this Season is so incredible . I love the lights, the joy and the love of this Advent / Christmas Season. Our liturgical Season at church is all about the celebration   of The birth of our Lord and Savior by way of his Miraculous birth through Gods selection of our Most Blessed Mother the Virgin Mary. So, Thanksgiving was the Holiday.  And this is our Christmas Season which celebrates the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. So, Merry Christmas.:)

This Season of Christmas can also be difficult for us too when we have an illness or a loss of a loved one. I remember my grandparents  and my parents getting teared up when the song Auld Lang Syne was played especially on New Years Eve.

This is the song that I spoke of.

I did not understand why they cried then but I came to understand over time when I experienced the loss of loved ones and friends personally. I felt such sadness myself but in time I was able to experience those memories through  the proper and just prism of God. Being separated from our loved ones is hard naturally but the truth of the matter is so simple. God created us in perfection  to live in his perfect garden/world. Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating of the tree of good and evil thus we find ourselves here in this imperfect world with an imperfect environment. Sin, murder, addictions sadness and grief and death.  But God being magnificently loving sent his only son to die on the cross for our sins and to save us from an eternal death.

So, yes we have sadness and losses in our lives but We are also never Spiritually separated from those who go back to God. Love does not work that way. Our loves is an extension of Gods love through the Holy Spirit of God. Amen. We can feel the pain of seperation personally but we are very much connected through our love and God Amen.
