Holy Spirit PSR Watchful Wednesday, December 11, 2024

     The whole story is amazing and woven with a bit of mystery . We have a virgin giving birth, a questioning intended, an older woman pregnant and a husband who can’t talk until he names his boy John. Now we have that John, called the Baptizer preaching in words similar to our Lord. Likable ,loving cousins to one another Jesus and  John ; unlikable to others who did not want to hear these words and stretch themselves as far as they were asked.Crowds begging to hear more and crowds that would be glad they would be gone. What crowd are you in ?

     At this time of gift giving their words are ringing. Both men give sound advice of checking our own inventory and sharing some of it. Does your gift have to be new or can it be gently used and given in love ? Is buying top notch at the cost of an empty wallet necessary when you could spend a little less and save some for something that is truly needed like that bill sitting on your desk. Are you giving because you are required to ?

     How about some spititual gifts that truly keep on giving ? A smile and a genuine wave to that delivery driver weaving around  traffic so things will arrive on time.–maybe letting them go first. A little prayer for that coffee shop worker who comes out in bad weather to open up so that you can have a bit of comfort to your  day. A sincere greeting of hello to that security guard standing all day for your safe-well being. There goes that cleaner into the public bathroom to give it one of the many once overs.  We don’t even like cleaning our own bathrooms and they are always doing it for others. A thank you and eyes lifted to heaven would make a lasting  gift for their soul. Leaving less mess would help , too . 

     You can make your spiritual list longer than Santa’s and never be done.  Be creative and pray often even if it isn’t Christmas.A life of constant prayer and gratitude  is good for a healthy compassionate heart and soul .Give that gift.

P.S. moment

The best gift you can give to Jesus is yourself !
