sn’t Need Pergo
by Pastor Rob Rose
It made me realize something profound. The baby didn’t
need Pergo, or bright paint colors, or bottle warmers, or the
countless other things we had bought in preparation. The
baby needed to come into a loving home.
Advent is about our homes and our hearts. It is the exciting
time before the birth. All the running around and all the
excitement isn’t really necessary for the birth.
Does the infant Jesus have a loving home to come into? All
the stuff is fun, tradition, festive, but strip it all away and all
our Lord wants is to be loved and to love.
So enjoy all the activities of the season - it can be so much fun!
But don’t stress out. Don’t become so anxious you forget
that all this stuff is just for show. Spend a little time preparing
for Christmas in the way that really matters. Show love to
those around you. Show love to those you don’t like. Show
love to your neighbor. Show love to the world.
Prepare ye the way Advent is here!
