Christmas Blessings

Christmas Blessings

Dear <<First Name>>

The last few years have been difficult with seasonal Covid restrictions; this year is hard with the soaring energy prices, war abroad, and political instability at home.  Prices rise faster than wages, pensions, and benefits; many feel the need to strike to try and get better terms and conditions and, it seems, the NHS needs rather more than a weekly round of applause. 

We live in gloomy times, yet as Christians we rejoice that God is with us.  In Jesus, God became one with us, sharing our life – with all its pain and joy, its tragedy and glory.  In these days we give thanks for all that is good in our lives – our friends, family, church communities and, above all, the loving kindness of our God who visits us like the dawn from on high.

I hope that you have a happy and holy Christmas and that the new year brings us all better times.

with every good wish
