The assigned word for today is HOPE, but my word of the day is REJOICE! Today is the Advent Sunday of JOY. The contrast between the JOY of this season of HOPE and the tragedies of the weekend is stark.
Our Sunday School lesson followed John the Baptist from Repent to Rejoice! We reflected on how we are able to rejoice even in the face of tragedy. HOPE is one of the elements that enables us to Rejoice! HOPE is essential to a life of JOY.
We had a Christmas celebration event at church at 5:30 this afternoon, with food, music and the Charlie Brown Christmas Story as told by Joel B. The crowd was small, fewer than 30. Everyone enjoyed gathering. Kathy and I went together.
