Master’s Message
In my house, Christmas morning will no doubt start early. Two boys will loudly bash open the door to their parents’ bedroom and announce the arrival of presents at the crack of dawn. Children are always the focus of Christmas. After all, the first Christmas had its beginning in the coming of a child. It is a child’s day, a day of childhood love and childhood memories. But we do not forget that for many families Christmas Day is another day of struggle. They find no room at the inn because of medical bills, lost jobs, a sudden disease, or the other ills which afflict our community today.
Masonry reminds us that brotherly love should prevail and every moral and social virtue cements us. Masons are ever mindful that in love—the love of God and the love of man—a solution exists to the problems facing our community. We are bound together and dedicated to the love of our fellowmen. It is not unlike the love of that child.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Fraternally,
Christopher D. Livingston, WM
