Friday of the Fourth Week of Advent
Let all praise the name of the Lord;
for God commanded, and they were created.
Psalm 148:5
for God commanded, and they were created.
Psalm 148:5
The wind rages outside and the temperature has dropped rapidly. As darkness descends, I send out an “emergency Christmas worship plan” to members of my congregation. The basic message: we will do what we can.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring? I read the news stating two-thirds of the people in the United States are affected by these storms. Flooding, whiteouts, power outages for over 1.4 million households. Life-threatening cold.
We do know what Christmas will bring. The birth of Jesus. God incarnate. Love. And on account of this holy love we will pray for those in trouble, we will help those in need, we will find ways to extend hospitality and aid and care to any whom we meet.
Come, Jesus.
