Christmas different for a change
(0212202022-2040,1412201105-1126)
Silent and lonely
abandoned and quiet.
None of us
would have imagined
Christmas to be like it
this year.
No Christmas markets,
no hustle and bustle in the shops
no stress while preparing
large family parties.
Everything is different than usual.
But was is not similar
for the first Christmas?
A young Jewish woman gave birth
to the Savior of the world
away from all the hustle
lonely in a stable
far away from family
and any support.
Everything was different
everything was unusual
and everything was not hoped for
the way it was.
Here too
the government set up regulations
that the people did not like.
And the young couple
had no means or possibilities
to improve the arrival
of the Savior of the world.
Perhaps this time
should serve us
as a memorandum this year?
Perhaps it is time
to think about
the essential during Christmas?
Perhaps the Savior of the world
wants to touch your heart
all anew this year
in all the loneliness and silence?
