Wonder of Christmas | Shona Pike

Christmas is a time of surprises – things that take our breath away. Life, at its best, is not really measured by the breaths that we take, but by the breaths that we miss. Times like Christmas when the things that cannot be, are. I don’t think it’s remarkable at all that at the time [...]

A Perfect Christmas | Donna Bond

I stood on the upper deck of a mall recently and watched the people on the lower level walk feverishly from one store to another. Some were carrying bags, some were carrying cups of coffee, and others looked as if they were deep in thought – probably looking for that perfect Christmas gift. I remember [...]

Always room for more | Rick Zelinsky

I was born into a Hungarian/Romanian family, and I could tell a ton of stories but that will have to wait for another time.  Being from Eastern Europe meant that if you were a friend of mine then you didn’t come over to visit unless you were prepared to sit down for a meal courtesy of [...]

On the contrary, it was these traditions that helped me keep my mind off of the fact that I wasn’t going to be ‘home for the holidays’. [...]

Bow down and Worship | Eric Bond

It was one of those rare moments that come upon you when least expected. It was a serendipitous moment of great value. Donna and I had turned off the incessant chatter of the TV and were upstairs making our initial attempts at Christmas preparations. She was in the kitchen baking some favourite Christmas treats from [...]

Memory Box | Margaret McLeod

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, lights and trees are decorating homes, special festivities are being planned to celebrate Christ’s birth and for many of us we look forward to building memories of Christmas with family and friends. Reaching into my ‘memory box’ of Christmas’, one particular Christmas is etched into my memory. [...]

The Season of Advent is to reflect and prepare our hearts for the ‘coming’ of our Lord and Saviour. This season is usually one that is marked by many activities that are part of our ministry in The Salvation Army. Often times, in the hustle and bustle, we find it difficult to prepare and focus [...]
