Being Faithful

Be faithful to God and God’s presence in life. Because of God there is always hope, everything is being created all the time; the star you see is bright each night with new light, the love you share with one another grows stronger, and living friendship reaches deeper into the soul.

Every Christmas is a new creation, and the old, old story is told again, with new gifts, new carols, to friends old and new, among people who have always been part of your life, among people who are new this year, and among people who are sharing Christmas this year in the eternity of God.

All is new; be faithful to hope, be faithful to the future, be faithful to God who is among us.

Among us like the raindrop on the grass, the warmth of winter sun, the love of a friend, among us like a child, vulnerable, new and eternal like a child.

Be faithful in waiting, that God might always be new.
