Across the so-called divide
51Thursday 24 December, 2015 by Uncle Spike
I’m no stranger to Christianity, and to be honest, nor are many of my faith, after all, Jesus is pretty darned important to us too. I find that in this increasingly polarised society of ours, I often wonder if the purveyors of hatred and division actually realise how wrong they are, at how little the differences really are?
Now, many will celebrate tomorrow, many will not. Some will or won’t based on faith, or a lack of, which to be honest applies to many these days, irrespective of cultural background.
However, these issues are way too big to ponder for today… but I did want to leave you all a little gift today. To try for a moment to bridge the divide that many seem to relish in fuelling, here is something from Clan Spike, to everyone who follows this humble blog.

Fabulous 🙂 The one thing about darkness of the evil kind, is that it makes the light of goodness shine all the brighter in contrast.

The best Christmas offering on WordPress – in fact, for me, the best anywhere on the internet. Magical, welcoming and heartwarming. Big thankyou!

I wish I wasn’t in such a minority. May we all be touched by a small slice of peace.

You know, we feel as though we’re a small minority perhaps because we’re overwhelmed by media coverage of the negative most of the time – but perhaps we are not so small a minority, just rather too silent? I’m going to do as you do and try to do what I can to redress the balance in my own small way in the coming year. Thanks again!

My Dear Spike, had not realized that You are not a Christian, Not that it matters in the Least. I have appreciated Your views, and continue to find them so. Thank You for these Wholesome thoughts.
As I have shared earlier, I never go into videos. Too expensive, internet wise.
Much Regards to the Whole Family. 🙂
