A Delightful New Year - January 5, 2020
With the news of fires raging in Australia and the assassination of General Soleimani in Iraq, I wondered if a sermon on keeping Christmas in our hearts was still what I needed to say to today, still what you might need to hear. But I think it is. For the Christmas spirit Scrooge found, the Christmas spirit we need to hold onto, isn’t about jollity and games and feasting, though those may be part of it. The basis of the Christmas spirit is regarding ourselves and absolutely everyone else as worthy of care, as delightful. It is living as if all of Life, not just our own individual lives, is a valuable gift. And think how different our society and our planet might be if more of us did actually live with the Christmas spirit throughout the year. Read the whole sermon here:
