Pastor Beth shared a confession with us this morning. And then a story.
She went on to say that this week she had noticed a man walking down Pacific Ave. who was yelling as he walked which reminded her that this is not the most wonderful time of the year for everyone.
Blue, in a deep, dark, rich shade, is the color of Advent. This blue color may reflect our yearning for the way we want things to be.
In today’s Gospel, Matthew 3:1-12, John the Baptist calls us to repent which reminds us that Advent is not about us, it’s about our God. John turns us back to God.
God blows through our life like a crisp clear winter wind and takes our faces and turns them back to God.
God’s Love will never, ever let us go.
