DENNIS
Good Morning. I am Dennis Gossett, Associate Pastor of Central United
Methodist Church.
Have you ever stuffed a Christmas stocking with goodies? What about
putting all that stuff under the Christmas tree? You even have a lot of stuff
to do before December 25! All of that stuff can wear us out.
With so much stuff in our lives we often skip over the real meaning of
Christmas. Instead, we get caught up in the buying, selling, partying, and
celebrating that will keep us going full speed until we drop in exhaustion
on Christmas morning.
Instead of experiencing the peace and joy that Jesus Christ brings, we may
be suffering from a season of family squabbles, credit card debt, and
frustrated dreams brought on by media-hyped fantasies of happy holidays.
This Advent season, call a time out! Just for today, slow the season’s mad
rush with moments of silence. Silence the phone, light a candle, sing a
Christmas carol, take a walk, or even take a nap. Remember to give thanks
and pray.
After your much needed time out, I invite you to come and be a part of our
community, as we remember the Real reason for the season.
