"And there were sherperds living out in the fields near by, keeping watch over their flocks by night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."
The villages and streets of Gozo make it easy for us to imagine Bethlehem. The front part of our farmhouse was where the animals were kept and has the remains of a manger. The neighbour next door has sheep and goats which he leads out to pasture on a hill down the way. The Christmas message seems very close here. With the sheperds, we glorify and praise God for all the things we have seen and heard. And most especially, for the gift of Jesus, Our Saviour.
Blessed Christmas. Love, George, Sheelagh and Dorian
