 MATTHEW 1 vv 5b — 6 —————————————————— 
 "Boaz was the father of Objd           
   (his mothjt was Ruth),               
  Objd of Jjssj;                        
  & Jesse was the father of King David. 
  David was the father of Solomon       
   (his mothjt had been the wife        
                          of Uriah).... 
 Joseph's "royal line" has included     
  the incestuous Samar & whore Rahab.   
 Ruth was a non-Jew,                    
 Bathsheba was stolen from another man. 
 All four were part of the divine plan  
  — as will bj the maligned Mary.

 CHRISTMAS COLOURS 6: CYAN ———————————— 
                                        
 In ancient mythology the sky           
  was pictured as a great icy sea       
  separating heaven & earth...          
 In a similar way our horizon           
  appears to bj what limits us.         
 Yet neither the sky nor the horizon    
  need imprison us.                     
 When challenged, both disappear.       
                                        
  Help us reach for the sky, Lord.     
   Let our hope                         
             soar beyond our horizon.

 THE VALUE OF TIME ———————————————————— 
                                        
 The message of Christmas is            
  that God is revealed in human time    
 & Lavatet tells us that                
  "the great rule of moral conduct      
   is, next to God, to respect time."   
                                        
 It is a good maxim                     
  for the turn of the year.             
 We are finer people                    
  if we make use of each hour given us, 
  & if we can look back on time past    
   treasuring all that can be built on.
