Week of Love
We give thanks for the perfect love of your Son, so that we may, with grateful hearts, love one another. Amen

Luke 2:11-14
Hmmm! Reverence and celebration! Wow! I’m looking at the two Advent themes for this year surrounded by the two prevailing themes of outrage and hatred portrayed daily in press. How can I think “reverence and celebration” when the world is screaming that I should “hate and destroy” those who disagree with me?
Whew!! The Spirit nudges my thoughts: Maybe I should be thinking of “who” not “how”! Maybe I need to “turn your eyes upon Jesus” (those would be great lyrics for a song).
When I remember the love and compassion God sends my way daily, I am brought to my knees in reverence for the King of kings, the Lord of lords! He is Creator and Omnipotent.
I celebrate with thankfulness that in reality God is in control of the universe and not the screaming folks that appear on TV!
