Today is the second Sunday of Advent. Today’s theme is Peace. In this world we live in, we need peace of spirit, body, and mind. It is also very much needed in our communities where we face violence and hatred. So for the first two Sundays of Advent, there is hope and peace. Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me.
Reality is reality. However, we need to escape from reality to get through life. Whatever helps you escape, do what makes your weird little heart happy. Also, don’t stress out over stupid things. I have a gut feeling that in the years ahead we will all need to do things to help us emotionally get by. Seek joy and engage in the nerdiest and fun stuff you can. Be who you need to be in the moment. Be good to you and to others. Get your head out of this world. Return to it when you are ready.
I am here if you need someone to listen to what’s going on in your heart and head. Love and peace.
I found this to be profound and very much in the spirit of who Jesus is and should be in the hearts and minds of those who believe in him. Jesus can be found in many places. If more of his children had this mindset things would be better for many people. May Jesus be with all no matter what.
Lots of stuff is going on in the Middle East. Now would be a good time for a call for peace. May there be peace on Earth and may it begin with each of us.
Do something to help others during the Holidays. Be the good you want to see in the world. Your neighbors will appreciate you for it.
The second week of Advent is the message of peace. The understanding of the word “peace” is limited to worldly peace – the absence of war or conflict. But the word peace – as proclaimed by the angels to the shepherds at the birth of Jesus – has a much more spiritual significance. Happy Advent to all celebrating.
