Merry Christmas from Pastor Gary
Posted by: | CommentsDear Lauderdale United Methodist Church Family & Friends,
A cartoon from a few years ago showed a woman saying to her husband, “Good grief, Henry. Here’s Christmas at our throats again!”
Amid the preparations for Christmas each year, there always seem to be a few voices like hers, proclaiming a “Bah, humbug!” on the whole business. And if the truth be known, some of us may feel less than excited about Christmas ourselves. The expense, the crowds, the overindulgence, the hurried schedules and all the other trappings of modern Christmas celebrations are enough to make all of us to have a Scrooge look at the season.
In the face of the humbug state of affairs, it is helpful to remember that God did not send Jesus to be “at our throats,” but to be “in our hearts.” The difference between those two concepts defines the gap between gloom and glory. There’s a reason we call the gospel good news. As John so aptly put it, “For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him” (3:17).
Jesus is God’s gift to our world — and to our hearts. When Jesus resides within, whether we enjoy or merely tolerate the flurry of seasonal preparations, Christmas itself is a grand opportunity to say thank you to God for the gift of the Son.
My Prayer for you is that you and your family have a Blessed Christmas and remember to let Christ be the center of your life.
In God’s peace & Merry Christmas,
Gary

More Information on Sylvia
Posted by: | Comments
Paul and I went to see Sylvia McMinn Wednesday, November 23rd. She is in Methodist Rehabilitation Center in Jackson and Melody is staying with her most of the time. When we walked in she gave us a big, big smile. Melody said that about 2 hours before we got there she said her first word which was “scrapebook”. She held our hands with her left hand but right now has no use of her right arm. She has feeling down to her elbow but not below. They feel that she will regain use of it though. She has walked some with assistance also. Her speech is slow but that too should come back. They worked her pretty hard on her first day of rehab today and she will fight to regain everything. When I asked her what she felt when she said her first word she said “excited”. She looks great! I believe with prayer and determination she will be back to the Sylvia we know and love very soon. Keep Sylvia and her family in your prayers.
Happy Thanksgiving
Pam
