Advent Moment: Short Reflection Sunday 14th December #advent #joy #sunday #faith
Good morning! This is Kirk Jacob bringing you today's reflection on the 3rd Sunday of Advent.
We begin: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of theHoly Spirit. Amen.On this 3rd Sunday of Advent, the phrase that caught my eye wasfrom Matthew chapter 11: verses 2-11 was: ‘Go and tell Johnwhat you hear and see’. This Gospel value could easily bereplaced by ‘Show and Tell’, it’s that childlike simplicity in how welive our daily lives. Years ago, I had a go at being a TeachingAssistant in a Primary School with Special Needs kids. The lastlesson on a Friday was ‘Show and Tell’. Each kid broughtsomething special from their homes and shared it with their class.This object was almost inseparable from their lives.I wonder as Adults, if we look at our own lives and see the peoplethat we are today, how many of us practice ‘show and tell’ bysharing not just physical gifts at Christmas with loved ones, thoughreally sharing the unspoken thoughts in our hearts with them andtelling them: ‘I love you’ or ‘I’m truly sorry if I have hurt you’ andmeaning it! That’s the real gift of Christmas. I am reminded of asimple Carol taught my late Mum whose death anniversary istoday:Oh the real meaning of ChristmasIs the giving of love every day.Yes, the real meaning of ChristmasIs to do as the Master did say.And when you’re giving your presents.Just remember as you give them away.Cause the real meaning of Christmas.Is the giving of love every day.Thank you for joining us today.
Amen.
