Nicely said, Stephen.

Fellow officer-blogger Stephen Oliver writes about Christmas Day at his corps of Failsworth on his blog Mission Latte. As he often does, Stephen has a nice turn of phrase and he concludes his description of a day of a Christmas service and meals being served to the community in this way:

…And realising, too, that our day yesterday was not remarkable. Days like ours took place all over the country yesterday - in churches and community centres, in places of faith and places of none. Because of the Christ child for whom there was no room in Bethlehem, room was made for lots of people in lots of places.

Couldn't have said it better, Stephen.
