Once again we are approaching that holy and blessed feast of Christmas. The most important thing it seems to me is that we take time to reflect on what we are celebrating. "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son." That is what we are truly celebrating -- God's love for us, his creatures, who are made in his image and likeness. So with all the parties and all the gift giving let's all try to remember what the feast is all about. With this blog I wish all the readers of this web site a blessed and Merry Christmas. May Christ truly come to each of you anew as we celebrate Christmas, 2008.
Here at Conception it looks like we will have both snow and ice on the ground for the feast. Last Thursday night we had some ice. Fortunately not as much as last year so we did not lose our electricity, heat etc. However, parking lots, sidewalks and country roads are all quite slick. Our parking lot in front of church looks like an ice rink.
Ice on trees and and on top of the snow from the recent ice storm.
Today there is a lot of decorating going on in the house. Tomorrow we will be decorating the church so it will be a busy couple of days.
So again, I want to wish all of you readers a blessed and happy Christmas. You will be in my prayers and remembered at Mass.
Fr. Kenneth
