COT
“The power of No”

I’ve recently struggled with integrity issues involving commitments. I find it easy to over commit and under deliver. It’s easy to say yes to everything but not to think about the cost of saying yes. I shared examples of how liberating it was when I recently said no to two “good” things (hanging Christmas lights & Son’s sport team).

“Wielded wisely, no is an instrument of integrity and a shield against exploitation. It often takes courage to say. It is hard to receive. But setting limits sets us free”

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
Advent is a four-week season dedicated to reflective preparation for the arrival, “advent”, of Jesus www.christianity.com/wiki/holidays/the-christmas-bible-story-nativity-of-jesus-in-scripture.html at Christmas time as well and Christ’s expected return in the www.crosswalk.com/faith/bible-study/things-to-know-before-the-second-coming-of-christ.html. During this important event on the church calendar, each week of Advent focuses on a different theme – hope, peace, joy, and love. Christians from all denominations and backgrounds celebrate Advent in different ways but all focus on the anticipation of waiting for the arrival of Jesus.

“The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come.” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
