Shalom

Shalom means inner peace; it means we are not alone; Shalom addresses and calms our fears; it leads to justice and personal integrity. Shalom is a yearning for peace as only God can give it. Shalom is a gift of the grace of God. Shalom, offered from one person to another, says, "All the blessings of God that I wish for myself, I also wish for you. I can ask nothing less for you."

And so I wish you true Shalom. May this season bring you that grace and blessing that only the simple presence of the Christ Child in each heart can achieve. I hope my presence in your lives has enriched you in some small way.
