It is Christmas Eve! The waiting is almost over, but not quite. With every breath, we draw a little closer to the hour of opening the box.
Today’s scripture of reflection:
While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child.
Luke 2:6
Today’s photo is a little different than the ones before it. The first photo of today is of the box as it waits to be opened inside the church sanctuary. Here it is:
The box sits on the table, near the tree, waiting. The time has not yet come. This box will finally get opened, ‘while they were there’. We will wait until many are gathered.
For people who are near us, and want to join us when we open the box, and celebrate the birth of Jesus, Transcona Memorial United Church has services at 5 pm, 7 pm, and 10pm. We are located at 209 Yale Avenue West in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
For people who are not near, or who want to wait until the next post to see what is inside the box, we will write after the last service of the evening, sometime before midnight Central Time Zone (GMT/UTC – 06:00).
We wait, we wait, we wait.
May Christmas bring peace, justice, and love to all the earth.

So awesome to see all the boxes and especially the last box. A New Christmas excitement in an grownup world, touching the heart each day. I’m kind of sorry the waiting is over. So. Looking forward to a Wonderful New Year and to the “rerun” next year! Great Job & Big Thanks TMUC!!!
