Great Joy!

"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news and great joy that will be for all people." Luke 2:10

Joy is the theme of the third week in Advent and as we light the candles of hope, peace and joy let us all remember what we are preparing our hearts for!

I read in my quiet time today that you can't be fearful and grateful at the same time and that fear prevents us from being joyful.  This third week in Advent celebrates the joy that is the Christ child and that in preparation we need to examine our hearts, clear away the fear, the chaos and doubt and fill up on hope, peace and joy.

As we near the celebration of the birth of our Saviour may we all look deep into our hearts and prepare the way for the Lord!

Merry Christmas
