Day #1804

December 9, 2018

In preparing to introduce Mary, the mother of Jesus, in worship for this year's Advent series, the realization came to me that the gift of Jesus was not Mary’s, he was ours. Yes, the Son of God is God’s gift to all of humankind. So the message/sermon ended with the reminder to spend some time during Advent to think about what that gift means to us and to the world. 

Then there was another thoughtful moment - during Holy Communion. As I leaned over to bless one of the littlest ones, I said, “remember always that God loves you.” The response was priceless - "OK!" Oh, if we would all remember everyday that great, Good News! Ok?!

Blessings.
