Christmas let down games

Invite the widower on the other side of the street in for Christmas lunch. Arrange to meet up with an old friend or family member who you know would love to hear from you. Best recipe of all: spend part of the Christmas period volunteering. Every town, village and city offers a host of opportunities. Crisis , the UK charity for homeless people, founded in , has a series of homeless shelters which need volunteers. So popular is it that some of the shelters become oversubscribed quite early.

Volunteers regularly describe how they might arrive at the shelter feeling low and apprehensive but leave with their hearts singing and their whole outlook on life transformed. Young people can become inducted into the habits of lifelong volunteering if they have positive experiences of doing it when still at school age.

The iwill campaign was launched two years ago by Prince Charles. It has already made an enormous difference, with schools which back the campaign reporting much better atmospheres and attitudes to academic work and employers saying that they readily seek to take on young people who have acted as volunteers because they prove such good employees. After all the hype and anticipation, it would all seem like, well, not such a big deal. As good as Christmas and all its trappings were—and they were always good—the reality could not match the expectation.

There was a sense that there was something better, that there was yet more that could be ours. On this side of glory, nothing ever quite matches up to our hopes and dreams.

We may land a dream career, but there are days on the job when we wonder if there is anything more. We prosper, but we always want just a little more. Much of our dissatisfaction is due to sin. But even if we were not fallen, we would long for more. We were, to paraphrase Augustine, made for God, and we will experience restlessness until we see Him face-to-face.
