Day sixteen

Updated: Dec 23, 2025

Another very early wake up. I am tired today but I was thinking about Christmas. Yesterday I organised a couple of programmes for the 2 carol services I am planned for. Then I heard that everything has been organised so that I can be off until after Christmas. That was good to hear but I will be off for Christmas.

I haven’t always had churches that have Christmas Day services, but the last 35 Christmases have been church based as minister/pastor: carol services, Christmas Eve (in younger days even midnight services), and this year nothing. That will be unusual.

I was 18, almost 19 when I had my first Christian Christmas. We didn’t have a Christmas Day service ( we didn’t have our own building. The thing that sticks in my memory is watching “A Christmas Carol”, starring Alistair Simm as Ebenezer Scrooge. That Christmas morning when Scrooge woke up transformed really affected me. The same thing had happened to me the previous January when I was transformed by Jesus.

So, I wonder what this Christmas will be like!

I’ll let you know.
