No matter where you are, you can find God. God is present in the quiet wind whispering through the dark and fragrant pine branches tonight. God is present in the candles glowing on the altar. God is present far out to sea on the crests of the foamy waves moving silently through the starry night upon the great deep. God is present in the little smile of a child anticipating the joys of tomorrow morning. God is present in the heart of the great-grandmother who sits by the fire and treasures the memories of Christmases long ago. God is present in the bread and the wine that we share with each other tonight, remembering the reason that Jesus came into this world. 
  
If you would know the true meaning of Christmas — look for signs of the Incarnation. God will show you that there is nothing that cannot be redeemed, nothing that God cannot love, including you and me. Even the part of us that we can’t love, God already does. That’s ultimately why the Incarnation is so important. And why we say Merry Christmas to each other with such unalloyed joy!
