Are You Ment To Be Dry After Your Periods

hard.

comes Christmas. So what? Somehow I feel this year that determine the many crises rather than Christmas this time: Economic crisis and climate crisis and foremost, all in secret after all relationship crises or crises with itself is interesting that not only struck me, but also Jürgen Werth , who published on his blog following text that I play in a slightly different form here would because it speaks to me fully from the heart.


everyone is talking about the great crisis. And now comes Christmas. Does this fit? Crisis and Christmas? Can we celebrate in the crisis at all correct Christmas?

I say: you can only really party in the crisis Christmas!

For Christmas is a hard crisis.

OK We have largely forgotten. Have made Christmas a sugar-sweet mood of celebration. The heyday of comfort. What is beautiful indeed. But still, at best, represents half the truth.

The first Christmas took place in full swing for the crisis. In an occupied country and exploited at the edge of the Roman Empire. Withered on pastoral fields on the edge of a small town. A baby is born and the parents can not even offer him a warm bed. A trough is his first home.

Mary and Joseph and Jesus - suffer what they do in those days, and is anything but cozy.

Maybe Christmas means only really when the Comfort absent. For this is the message of this extraordinary feast: God comes the crises of everyday life! God illumines the darkness of our lives! God takes away power of hopelessness for our reality! In Jesus puts all the love of God.

he had not come, we'd still vaterseelsenallein on our blue planet and not know what to do with our fears, our injuries, our fault. Our longing for the sky would remain unsatisfied forever.

But now torn open the heavens and the earth was flooded with its light. Christmas is the hope of celebration! The confidence Fest! The Liberation Day! Christmas is Jesus Fest! A celebration for people in crisis. In a crisis, people have always felt first hand what Christmas means in the depths, God comes into our world! We are not alone! Never! The child in the manger is God in our skin.

Who's understands, begins suddenly amazed and pray and sing. "O how joyfully, O blessed glory of Christmas!"

I wish Jesus a happy celebration!
Regards
The John
