Let your life be a preparation

Thursday December 8th Mark 1: 2 It is written in Isaiah the prophet: "I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way"— 3 "a voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, We too are called to be the messengers calling to the world to prepare the way of the Lord. It is time to set aside all conflict and strife. It is time to set aside all hatred and greed. It is time to view friends and neighbors, enemies and acquaintances as brothers and sisters in Christ. It is time to finally beat those swords into plow shears. It is time to prepare the way of the Lord by turning this Christmas season into a season of love and forgiveness. It is time to prepare the way of the Lord in what we do, not just in what we say or spend. Let your life be a preparation for the coming of the Lord, in your life and in the world.
