Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born,
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
As we meditate on these awesome words this week, we push aside the images of Santa Claus, snow and reindeer that are the norm for most people at this time of the year, even in our hot and sunny climate in Australia. We are blessed that the media are playing the traditional carols and it is "Merry Christmas" rather that Happy Holidays or Seasons Greetings.
We have our last concert for the year tomorrow, and while some would think it is the most depressing place to go as it is a dementia ward, we know we are helpful as the activities office is trying to run the men's shed out in the grounds as well as the ward, although there are other staff about.
My christmas gift to myself came today and I am thrilled with it, though I do not have the musical expertise to do it myself.
