December 25 Christmas Day from my journal
Christmas away from home
It is my first Christmas away from home courtesy of the U.S.
Army. I’m stationed in the Panama Canal Zone.
My view of Christmas is snow, sleighs and evergreens.
Here there are palm trees, plastic wreaths and cardboard
snowmen. I’m just not in the Christmas spirit. I go to the chapel for a candle
light service complete with familiar carols and readings. Leaving, it dawns on me that the first Christmas was in a
desert. I get it loud and clar.
“Behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be
to all people. For there is born to you this day in the City of David a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:11)
Merry Christmas everyone. Peace
