COT: We talked about the 3rd week of Advent and how to bring Joy to yourself, others, and your Sky Q. The last one is particularly challenging. How do we give Joy to God? Probably the most obvious way is to follow the Greatest Commandment, as written in the Scriptures: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind”. OK… But that can seem a bit abstract. How does one really express their love for the Lord in a meaningful way?
I was struggling with this question last night. So I put down my Q that I was planning and watched The Bishop’s Wife, an old move from the 1940s starring Cary Grant as an angel who comes to Earth to give guidance to a Bishop who is trying to raise funds for a cathedral. He accomplishes his goal, and in the end, the Bishop reads a Christmas sermon that the angel actually wrote (but the Bishop doesn’t know this), and he says in that sermon, “During the Christmas season, we give gifts to each other. You give me a book, I give you a scarf. You give her a necklace, she gives you a tie. And on and on. But one stocking hangs empty. The stocking of the little boy who’s birthday we’re celebrating. We always forget to fill that empty stocking for the Child. But what would the Child want? What can we give Him? If we all—ALL of us– pour into that stocking some Loving Kindness, Warm Hearts, and the Stretched Out Hand of Tolerance, there would be Peace on Earth.” So… If you’re looking for that last minute gift that gives Joy to your Sky Q… well, I think that’s an awfully good way to start. Loving Kindness, Warm Hearts, and the Stretched Out Hand of Tolerance. May there be Peace on Earth and Good Will to all Women and Men this holiday season.
Merry Christmas everyone.
