Dear Friends,
On the Third Sunday of Advent, we focus on Joy.
One has suggested that the opposite of joy is worry and that worry is the illusion that we can somehow prevent tomorrow's heart ache. When we live in worry, we live not in the present, but our minds keep us fixed on an unknown future. We often miss the joy of what is occurring right now and miss opportunities to be fully present to others with our "attention and support."
In the sermon, I will show you what Joseph worried about, what his worries almost cost him, and most importantly, what he allowed God to do with his life.
May we who rightly worry about many things find a path to joy.
Grace and peace,
Peter
