Monthly Reflection
by Sister Martha Wordeman

January 2010

    Memories of happy Christmas gatherings, enthusiastic children and food gathered for the poor are still lingering in our hearts.
    Someone has described the Christmas Season as the time in which we get "tricked" into doing kind things for others. Upon reflection, I remembered the many beautiful things people did at personal sacrifice and cost, even to repairing broken friendships. Let us not forget that all this was a result of Jesus becoming one of us.
    There is a little Christmas carol by John Bell called "God's Surprise" that is well worth quoting.

God's Surprise

Who would think that what was needed
To transform and save the earth
Might not be a plan or army,
Proud in purpose, proved in worth?
Who would think, despite derision,
that a child should lead the way?
God surprises earth with heaven,
Coming here on Christmas Day.

Shepherds watch and wise men wonder,
Monarchs scorn and angels sing;
such a place as none would reckon
Hosts a holy helpless thing;
Stable beasts and bypassed strangers.
Watch a baby laid in hay:
God surprises earth with heaven,
Coming here on Christmas Day.

Centuries of skill and science
Span the past from which we move,
Yet experience questions whether,
With such progress, we improve.
While the human lot we ponder,
Lest our hopes and humor fray,
God surprises earth with heaven,
Coming here on Christmas Day.

 

En Español

    Felices recuerdos de reuniones Navideños, de niños entusiásticos y de comida para los pobres todavia persisten en nuestros corazones.
    Alguien ha descrito la temporada de Navidad como un tiempo en que nos dejamos ser engañiados para hacer algo bueno a otros. Al reflexionar, recuerdo las muchas y amables cosas que otros hicieron con sacrificio y costa personal, aún reparación de amistades quebrantadas. No olvidemos que todo esto ha resultado porque Jesús se hizo uno de nosotros.
    Hay un himno de Navidad por John Bellllamado la "Sorpresa de Dios" que vale la pena citarlo.

La Sorpresa de Dios

¿Quién pensaría que 10 que era necesario para
Transformar y salvar el mundo no
Sería posible sin un plan o ejercito?
Orgullosos en propósito, verificado en valor?
¿Quién pensaría, a pesar de burlas, que un niño guiaría el camino? Dios sorprende el mundo con el Cielo,
Viniendo en el Día de Navidad.

Pastores velan y hombres sabios maravillan,
Monarcas desprecian y ángeles canta
Tal sitio, cual nadie pensaría,
Da hospicio a quien es sagrado e indefenso;
A bestias del pesebre y desconocidos desviados.
Dios sorprende el mundo con el Cielo,
Viniendo en el Dia de Navidad.

Siglos de habilidad y ciencia
Conectan el pasado del cual nos movemos,
Aún tenemos la experiencia de cuestiones si,
Con tal progreso nos mejoramos.
Mientras reflexionamos en la suerte humana,
No sea que nuestras esperanzas y sentido de humor sean desbaratados.
Dios sorprende el mundo con el Cielo
Viniendo en el Día de Navidad.
