DENNIS

Good Morning. I’m Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. If you are like me, then you also have noticed that we are living in a strange time. We are in the midst of a holiday season that promotes joy, peace on earth, and good will towards each other.

Even though these words are proudly displayed all over the place, it doesn’t accurately describe what is really going on. After all, this is the time of year when crimes against persons and property sky rocket. It is also the time of year that families get into fights and kids are spoiled and many accrue a mountain of meaningless debt.

So, how can the joy, peace, and good will be restored? Well, it starts with you and me. You and I both can make a conscious choice to demonstrate these three things everywhere we go. Could you imagine the difference we’ll start to make if we show good will in the checkout aisles, give smiles and words of joy to those who look stressed out, and be the first to make peace when tempers are flared? Together and with God’s help we will make a difference this season. God bless.
