Christmas Reflections

Dear Friends,
Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy Christmas!
Every year I try my best to put the Christ back into Christmas, by reflecting on the message and teachings of Jesus; he who stood for peace, love, kindness and understanding.
I try my best to remember those who are lonely, those who are homeless, who have difficult families, who face famine, war, or oppression.
With the news that Christmas this year is cancelled in Bethlehem, Jesus’ birthplace, we are especially praying for peace in the Holy Land and remembering those who are grieving and/or afraid this Christmas.
May the Prince of Peace bring joy, comfort and light to all hearts. ❤️
Love Ruhiya
For fun, here is a little Bossa nova jazzy Christmas carol cheese for you, with backing track by @marikoawada ❤️
... and here is one of my favourite soulful Christmas performances, it always gets me bopping and singing along :)
