Member of Parliament’s Christmas Message

As I walk through the halls of splendor and view the magnificence of the buildings of Parliament Hill, I realize that the truly important things of life are not in buildings or in halls or in places of honour.

Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like the beauty of a simple lily of the field. Some things are just intrinsically beautiful. They are not complex, but simple and yet profound. Each of us like the lily are wonderfully and marvelously made.

As we fellowship with our family and friends and as we share triumphs, trials and losses during the Christmas season we partake in something intrinsically beautiful.

Yet it is more then that. It is the hope of peace in the midst of all that is around us. The great prophet Isaiah capsulized it in a simple, yet profound statement when he said “ For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

My wife Sally and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
