Second Sunday of Advent

Back in May, I was thinking about Mary and the presence of God, and I wrote this in my journal: 
Closer than breathing, nearer than hands and feet is the presence of God.

Mary was the chosen one. I have often thought that I would like to visit with her and ask her about her thoughts. She had to have been overwhelmed, but she knew that God's Grace surrounded her. Like a hammock on a sunny afternoon, the Grace of God holds us , comforts us , and gives us peace. Oh, how we are blessed!
Every child is a gift from God. Each one has his or her own talents and abilities. In it's own way, each child can make a difference in the world. It is our responsibility to teach the children and bring them up knowing God's Grace and the story of Jesus.

Thank you,
Marilyn Whitaker (First UMC - McCamey)
