Elizabeth and Mary moments

I have Sunday's sermon done for Advent IV. This is unusual for me to have a Sunday sermon done by Wednesday. I outlined yesterday. My subject is around looking at how Mary and Elizabeth supported each other. We don't travel our spiritual paths alone. We travel with God, with those who affirm our relationship with God and with those who need our afirmation. This is why it is so important to be part of a community. We all have moments where we are Mary running with haste to see someone who we know and hope will understand what God is doing with us. We also have Elizabeth moments where we feel new life leaping inside us when we are visited by someone so full of the spirit.

I'm working on Christmas Eve now. I'm working on how we find stability in Christ in this day and age. What is it about Jesus that keeps us grounded. Where do we go when we need to find the stabiity.

As far as Christmas Day, I"m wondering what to do. I have heard about John's wonderful stories. I'm praying to see if that is something I should continue. Or perhaps God will give me a Mary or Elizabeth moment between now and then that makes it clear what Christmas Day should be.

Blessings on everyone during this busy season!
