Sunday Homily, December 11, 2016, 3rd Advent, Cycle A
ByRosemary December 11, 2016

Readings:

Isaiah, 35, 1-6, 10,  Then will the eyes of the blind be opened

Psalm 146,  Lord, come and save us.

James 5, 7-10,  Welcome one another as Christ welcomed you.

Matthew 11, 2-11, Are you the one who is to come?

Treat of The Week: Sabrina is home from college. Welcome home, Sabrina.

Observations on Isaiah 35

What:  The passage is another from Isaiah 1, (Chapters 1-39)

Our selection: Another beautiful passage about a bright future.

Sez Tori, "Yes, Welcome Home, Sabrina."

Then the Eyes of the Blind will be opened

I would like to talk this morning about how once in a while, of course, only once in a while, I can be so blind to other people. This is an old story, but it is right on.

One mild afternoon afternoon I was sitting on a bench in front of Baskin & Robbins on the corner of Preston & Royal, just near our house. In front of me were two handicapped parking spots, both empty.

"Welcome home from me, too, Sabrina."

Suddenly a guy in, say, his early 20’s pulls into one of the parking spots, gets out of his car, and walks into Baskin & Robbins. I am thinking, ‘Hey, this guys is cheating. There is nothing wrong with him and he has no handicapped sticker in his car window.’ I’m thinking, ‘Why did I not give him my opinion while he walked by me? I will give it to him whenever he comes out.’

I wait probably about five minute, when suddenly the door opens. The man emerges holding the right arm of a little old lady who was barely able to walk.

Is that really you, Leo?

Thank God ‘the eyes of the blind will be opened’ before something stupid is said. Classic judging the book by the cover, one of my favorite activities.

Want to know of another place where my eyes are opened every year? The Love for the Kids picnic in Flower Mound.

Love for the Kids picnic, entertainers

Again this year we had about 20 volunteers from our home community. 1000 kids with their teachers and sponsors. There was all the usual activity, horseback riding, bounce units, face painting, people dressed as super heroes.

When the kids walk in they are given a bag of goodies. When they return to their school busses, they find a special gift in their seat.

Bill, the horse whisperer and the kid whisperer, helping the kids ride the horses.

They get lunch, put together by a bunch of our people. People are floating around with bags of popcorn in baskets to give to the kids. Kids who needed or wanted a coat, they could get one. Bike helmets were being given away, good helmets.

I go to give the gift of my time to these kids, but the kids gift me even more. But it is the great number of volunteers that touch my spirit.

So, the question obviously is: who is cuter, the white guy or the pink pig?

That guy outside of Baskin & Robbins, the kids, and the volunteers open my eyes to the good around me.

How are you blind & how are your eyes opened?

Hey, John & Connie, I think those cookies are supposed to be for the kids' lunches, not you guys.

Not only were the kids given jackets & coats if they were needed, but bike helmets were given and fitted to the kids' heads. These were good helmets, like Specialized.

True?

Six Facts of Life
1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so when they grow up they will know the value of things, not the price.
2. Best wise words: "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food."
3. The one who loves you will never leave you because, even if there are 100 reasons to give up, he or she will find one reason to hold on.
4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few folks really understand that.
5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, you have to manage!
6. If you just want to walk fast, walk alone; but, if you want to walk far, walk together!

Sunday Homily, December 4, 2016, 2nd Advent, A
ByRosemary December 4, 2016

Welcome to the beautiful colors of Advent & Fall in Dallas.

Readings:

Isaiah, 11, 1-10, On that day the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb. (a beautiful reading)

Psalm 72, Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace forever.

Romans 15, 4-9, Welcome one another as Christ welcomed you.

Matthew, 3, 1-12, John the Baptist appeared preaching in the desert.

Welcome, Everybody.

Observations on the Isaiah and the Matthew selections.

These two reading today have a sort of ying & yang quality to them. Isaiah is looking for peace while Matthew talks about John the Baptist, who does not specialize in peace.

You will find the selection from Isaiah (this is Isaiah 1) to be a beautiful dream about peace. He even looks at the animal kingdom for peace. Watch how Isaiah enters into this theme when he talks about the wolf.

And what was John's message? You better behave and repent or you are going to get it.

So how do you you reconcile the reading from Matthew with a
God who loves unconditionally?

Happy Engagement, Carrie & Paul.

In place of our usual homily today we have invited one of the men from Souls Harbor so share his journey of recovery.

Ha! I caught you, Beth. Swiping pastries before the kids and I can get there. Sure, you think I believe that you brought those.

Second week of Advent, Thoughts by Mike

Energize your spiritual journey

We are all brothers and sisters, and our one goal is the kingdom of heaven, here and now.

We will always obtain the desire of our heart, so we must choose our desires wisely.

Choose love, for it is in giving that we receive, ‘it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.’

‘Pay it forward.’ We teach by example.

Life is not about winning or loosing, its about compassion and justice.

Taking a step forward means that we have chosen to leave something behind.

We are granted joy when we choose to leave pain behind.

We enter truth when we choose to leave fear behind.

Peace comes when we choose to forgive.

Our Spirit enlightens us by chasing away our darkness, for they cannot coexist.

Happy Anniversary, Frank & Mary.

The Kingdom of God is always at hand. Be born again.

We are one body in Christ, when we are not seen or recognized when we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and visit the sick and imprisoned.

Love does not build barriers; it tears them down.

Gratitude is the lens through which the Spirit calls us to journey.

‘Most opportunities are never convenient. You don’t wait for them; they just occur.’

Deacon Mike

Christmas at the Dallas Symphony

This year we are going to the Meyerson on Friday, December 16th at 7:30 pm. We will have seats in the Orchestra section at approximately $45.00 per person. Please let Rosemary (rosemary.mcginn@sbcglobal.net) know as soon as possible if you are interested in going.

Something new and special this year. We will meet before the 7:30 concert at the condo of Beth & Rob at 2111 Marilla on the corner with S. Pearl across the street from the Dallas Farmers’ Market.

You may come by car or by DART. More on this later.
