Pause for Thought

Pause for Thought

From The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu:

听

On Advent Sunday I heard the story of a mother who was frustrated by her son who found it very difficult to get up in the morning to get ready for school.听 He would sleep through the alarm, and she would call out 鈥楯ohn, John please get up鈥�. No response! She went up to his room, felt his forehead, made sure he was still breathing, then came back with a glass of cold water, and poured it on his head. He woke up and protested, 鈥淕ive me one good reason why I should go to school. 鈥淏ecause 测辞耻鈥檙别 the headmaster!鈥�

听

Some of us find it difficult to wake up and get ready in the cold mornings of winter. And the real challenge of Advent is a clarion call to wake up from our dreaming, get ready, and pay attention to loving ourselves, loving others, and 鈥� believe it or not 鈥� loving God.

听

This season presents us with the greatest opportunity to check the health and vigour of our spiritual life.

听

And that is the joy of the little booklet I鈥檓 following called, 鈥楲ove Life, Live Advent鈥�. The booklet presents us with an action each day to help us pause, reflect and to make room in our busy lives for God鈥檚 greatest gift 鈥� Jesus. Today, 9th December, the action is about giving gifts to others.听 It says, 鈥淭hink of someone you wouldn鈥檛 usually buy a present for, or who may not buy you one. Give them something you think they would really like.鈥�

听

My charity for online-giving, is doing just that - encouraging people to donate money, to give another gift perhaps for a person needing a new coat, help to fix the washing machine, etc.听 I00% of what is donated goes to the person in need.听

听

So I would say, if you are thinking about giving, don鈥檛 wait until Christmas. Do it today.
