Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

 

Sometimes readings in Advent focus mainly on repentance and on waiting for the Savior and Messiah to redeem us from our sins.  Yet, the Jewish people of the Hebrew Scriptures and the early Christians had much broader expectations.  The Savior is the one who comforts and heals us, rescues and unbinds us, enlightens us and lifts us up as well as wipes away our sins.  The earthly life of Jesus was filled with his healing and compassionate acts; his treating outcasts and women with inclusivity, dignity and love; his breaking down cultural, religious and social walls that separate people; and his not only forgiving sinners, but also eating with them.   This is what Jesus wants to do for us.  Advent is a time of becoming more whole, a time of becoming all we want to be and all God wants us to be.

This Advent, let us believe and trust in the broader meaning of the season.  Deep faith is a creative energy that opens us to participate in what God wants to do for us in our personal lives and through us in our broken world and fragile Earth. The weeks of Advent give us the time to ask: What are the dark places in my life that need God's wisdom, uplifting and light?  What's not OK in me?  What's preventing me from feeling the love, unity and peace I want and God desires for me?  Where do I fall short of witnessing God's inclusive love, mercy and justice?  To each of these questions, we say: Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Rosemary’s Blessing   

 

Oh God who created galaxies and worlds without number

Animals and plants, and microbes beyond count,

And tiny subatomic particles we can barely imagine,

Help us to be as bountiful and gracious to all those we meet this week as you have been to us.

Thanks for your Generosity!

Invitation: Rosemary & I invite you all to our 2nd anniversary party, May 5, Fairview Farms (same place as last year), Parker & Central, northeast corner, ca. 6:00. We will have some couples renew their vows, covered dish, hors d’oeuvres, and music for dancing. Also, the slide show The Great East African trip.

From Kovatis: “Thank You” just doesn’t capture my appreciation, or that of the Groundwork Board, for your hard work and the enthusiasm you brought to the Operation A.C.T. Clean-up last Saturday. Based upon my rough calculation, we removed between 2 and 3 tons of trash from the Rochester Lakes area of the Great Trinity Forest.

Operation A.C.T. is a prime example of what a group of interested and dedicated citizens can do to “leave a place in better shape than they found it”. Please accept our sincerest thanks for helping us improve the Great Trinity Forest for the citizens of Dallas. You can be assured that this will be an ongoing mission for Groundwork Dallas.

(In a separate bulletin I will send pictures; too much now.)
