From The Pastor's Typewriter
To say that we have experienced a year to remember would be an understatement. Never before has so much information come into our daily lives, much like a snow squall that just won’t quit. As the holidays fast approach, we wonder if we have the physical energy to Fa, La, La, La, La with such serious situations affecting all of us. But then glimmers of light shine through the darkest moments of world history.
The Dark Ages of Europe in the fifth to the ninth centuries were a time of desolation and social deterioration over the entire European continent, a darkness that enveloped people and culture. Somehow people not only survived this cataclysmic event but in fact set the stage for a rebirth of culture and civilization (the Renaissance), bringing art, literature and architecture to a truly grand level. The Renaissance would be the light to illuminate Europe, bringing an end to the darkest chapter in human history. And so as we look to the holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, we can be that light that brings an end to the darkness that has been 2020. Begin and end each day with prayer. In the morning, give a prayer of hope for a day filled with positive thoughts and at the end of the day, offer a prayer of Thanksgiving for the goodness of our life. Be the light that our world needs to dismiss the darkness, whether that darkness be a disease, a philosophy or a person.
May you be blessed this year and every year.
