On this night…
Some carry on with the tasks of daily living: cashiers and nurses, ship crew and bus drivers, prison guards and rescue workers, volunteers and farmers, mothers and fathers.
On this night…
Others gather in churches, singing familiar carols, hearing the birth story once again, and holding the candles of light and hope.
On this night…
Many travel to be with loved ones, some are content remaining home, others reluctantly change plans and stay home because weather or finances or life’s challenges rearranging the best laid plans.
For one, for all… Light has come.
For one, for all… Love is born.
For one, for all… Hope is given.
