PASTORAL LETTER & CHURCH MEETINGS Light gives hope The conclusion is made that Santa Claus must be a man for no woman would ever wear the same outfit two years in a row! Perhaps, like me, you are dreading Christmas this year because, like me, you have just lost your spouse or partner, parent or child. It feels as if the Grinch has stolen all our presents of love and security, health and happiness. I know that Advent and Christmas Day in particular will be very poignant. It will bring back memories of Ranald who was very ill last year but struggled out of bed on Christmas Day to join friends around the table despite the fact he himself was peg-fed. He put on a brave face and had us all laughing at his jokes, such as, “Fit div ye caa a pigeon on its winter holidays at Aviemore? A ski-in doo!” One of his last Christmas presents to me was a small Charlie bear, carefully chosen as it has a heart round its neck. The heart catches the light. And light gives me hope: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all humanity. The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (St. John’s Gospel 1:1-5) That light has already been brought into my life by loyal family and friends who have gone out of their way to support me and encourage me to pick up the pieces of my shattered life and to see that the “darkness has not overcome the light”. In sacrificial love they are helping me cope with the loss of Ranald who was not only my husband and best friend but also my work colleague. He always claimed that the only reason I got the job as his Associate Minister was because I slept with the boss! Happy memories of him bring light into the darkness too. Another of the Christmas presents which Ranald gave me was a DVD of the film “Whisky Galore” based on Sir Compton MacKenzie’s book, a dramatized version of a true incident as researched by historian Gerry Burke. Burke writes that although the men of Eriskay saw whisky as having only one use, that is as a beverage, the women of the island saw whisky in a different light. He writes, “Whisky, out of the hands of men, became a domestic necessity, for the women used it to light the fire, as disinfectant for flea bites and sheep ticks, as medicine for hoarse cattle and as a soother for teething babies.”

Father Calum Morrison, the priest on Eriskay at the time, declared that the cargo of whisky was “Spirit that was a gift of God.” However, the best gift of the spirit to receive is the the gift of Christmas, that is, the gift of the spirit of Christ, for it is his Spirit which shines in our lives and will continue to do so in the dreichest days of our lives. Our hopes for a brighter future will come true, for “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” May the light of Christ burn brightly in all our hearts this coming Christmas Day and far beyond, that wherever we go in our world we will carry the Christlight with us to illuminate the lives of others who live in darkness too. Let us, like Scrooge in Dicken’s Christmas Carol, keep alive the Spirit of a Merry Christmas into the New Year of 2015 and far beyond.

Words by the Wayside "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ..." (1 Thess. 5:9)
Christian! Remember that while we, as sinners, are delivered from judgement and wrath, yet, as servants, we must give account of ourselves and our ways. For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that everyone might receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Are you here for yourself and your own will, or are you here for God and for His Will? You must answer for yourself. www.wordsbythewayside.co.uk Registered Scottish charity SC041290

After an incredible year for Scotland we are now approaching Christmas and perhaps a bit of respite for folks from politics and a bit of family time. That is, of course, after the works nights out, the Christmas shopping and the battle for the last turkey! I am looking forward to a bit of quiet reflection on the year and to catching up with friends and family. As always, as we approach Christmas, I will take the opportunity to recognise the work of the many people who will still be working at Christmas whether they are elsewhere in the world in the armed forces, the oil industry or another job that takes people a distance away or whether they are in the emergency services and medical professions here in Moray. There are also the very many people who are working in retail and in hospitality throughout the Christmas period who will be providing a service to others who are fortunate to have the time off. Very best wishes of the season to you all.
At this time of year I am very much looking forward to some quality family time and, in particular the chance to see my children taking part in the traditional school Christmas activities before the Christmas break itself. Looking forward to 2015 we will undoubtedly see some really exciting times in Scotland on the back of our referendum year and the huge enthusiasm for positive change that it has created in our country. Going around Moray I have never seen so many people being so engaged with politics and the big issues affecting us - not just to talk about it but to actively want to help change things in whatever way they can. There is little sign of that enthusiasm abating, which is fantastic and really sets the scene for the coming year.
