Isaiah 7:10-14  |  Psalm 45 or Psalm 40:5-10 or Canticle 15 (or 3)  |  Hebrews 10:4-10  |  Luke 1:26-38

We need to pour God’s Grace into our hearts. He has done great things for us. He has given signs to us weary mortals. We need to recognize his gifts. There are more gifts than we can count. We should learn what they are and tell the world about them. He has given us his son whose cross and passion gave us the glory of his resurrection.

We should be able to say “Oh my Lord, I love you with all my heart. I keep your laws and love deep in my heart.” He created the human race and blessed us with memory, reason and skill.  He has helped fill the hungry with great things and has helped us all in our times of need. For nothing should be impossible with God’s gifts and our great community at St. Luke’s.

Hopefully, we can continue our mission of helping our community and our congregation. We will try to make God’s name remembered from one generation to another. We should love to do God’s will and keep his law and love in our hearts. We are all blessed to be members of the St. Luke’s community: the clergy, the choir and music, the children’s and adult programs that we are all available to enjoy and the wonderful community services that we provide on a weekly basis.

There’s always a blessing to thank God for; the ones you are aware of, and ones that you are not. Be grateful to God every day.
