This picture of white rose from the garden of Peter and Katharine Makeover in London, taken in 2015 October is the best representation I can recall of the symbolic message of christmas. The rose flower has in its background two buds, ready to blossom. There were other flower buds too in the plant which would open for several weeks to come!
As I think of this symbolic sequence of flowering, I am reminded how through the last 2000 years or so the message of Christmas was perpetuated by recurring reminders to humankind that Christ came to bring, joy, peace and goodwill.
We too are called to be messengers of this good news in our humble way!
Our neighbour is preparing to visit three homes of people who live reduced lives to share the good news with them on Christmas day!
This GOOD NEWS brings joy unspeakable when it is shared with all around us!
