Day 277 | Monday, 21 December 2020
From the Church Mouse Two Sundays ago, Rev. Susan Hadley, “Pastor Sue”, of Christ First United Methodist Church, included something in our worship service that was shared with her from the first church she served, East Otto UMC in Cattaraugus County. It was written anonymously. When Doug and I were serving churches, we always wanted to keep our holiday season as free from stress and as focused on Christ, the real reason for the season, as possible. Every Halloween, we would head off to Erie’s Millcreek Mall or Hamburg’s McKinley Mall to do ALL our Christmas shopping. I also made sure that all our Christmas cards were prepared and ready to mail by December 1st. When Pastor Sue shared the following with us, I knew right away that I wanted to share it with you. The Christ First folks will remember it, but since the Woodland Shepherd and the Church Mouse have a wider following now, I decided to include it for today’s offering. I know that you’ll enjoy it. Christmas Love If I decorate perfectly with plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights and shining balls, but do not show love to my family, I’m just another decorator. If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing gourmet meals and arranging a beautifully adorned table at mealtime, but do not show love to my family, I’m just another cook. If I work at the soup kitchen, carol in the nursing home and give all that I have to charity, but do not show love, it profits me nothing. If I trim the spruce with shimmering angels and crystal snowflakes, attend a myriad of holiday parties and sing in the choir’s cantata, but do not focus on Christ, I have missed the point. Love stops the cooking to hug the child. Love sets aside the decorating to kiss the spouse. Love is kind, through harried and tired. Love doesn’t envy another’s home that has coordinated Christmas china and table linens. Love doesn’t yell at the kids to get out of the way but is grateful that they’re there to be in the way. Love doesn’t give only to those who are able to give in return but rejoices in giving to those who can’t. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. Video games will break, necklaces and earrings will be lost, golf clubs will rust, china will break…..but giving the gift of love will endure forever in the hearts of others. Have a peaceful and blessed Holiday season.

Day 276 | Sunday, 20 December 2020
The assigned Scripture readings for this the fourth Sunday in Advent are: 2 Samuel 7:1-11; Luke 1:47-55; Romans 16:25-27 and Luke 1:26-38. The gospel readings focus on Mary and the foretelling of Jesus’ birth, her visit to Elizabeth and her song of praise to God. Let me share Luke 1:46-55 Mary Praises God. Luke 1:46-55 Mary praises God 46 Mary said, “With all my heart I glorify the Lord! 47 In the depths of who I am I rejoice in God my savior. 48 He has looked with favor on the low status of his servant. Look! From now on, everyone will consider me highly favored 49 because the mighty one has done great things for me. Holy is his name. 50 He shows mercy to everyone, from one generation to the next, who honors him as God. 51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered those with arrogant thoughts and proud inclinations. 52 He has pulled the powerful down from their thrones and lifted up the lowly. 53 He has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty-handed. 54 He has come to the aid of his servant Israel, remembering his mercy, 55 just as he promised to our ancestors, to Abraham and to Abraham’s descendants forever.” There is a hymn that may not be as familiar as some of the Advent hymns titled “Ye Who Claim the Faith of Jesus” words stanzas 1-3 by Vincent Stucky Stratton Coles; stanza 4 by F. Bland Tucker, 1982. (Luke 1:26-55) 1. “Ye who claim the faith of Jesus, sing the wonders that were done when the love of God the Father over sin the victory won, when he made the Virgin Mary mother of his only Son.” 2. “Blessed were the chosen people out of whom the Lord did come; blessed was the land of promise fashioned for his earthly home; but more blessed far the mother, she who bore him in her womb.” 3. “Therefore let all faithful people sing the honor of her name; let the church, in her foreshadowed, part in her thanksgiving claim; what Christ’s mother sang in gladness let Christ people sing the same:” 4. “Magnify, my soul, God’s greatness; in my Savior I rejoice; all the ages call me blessed, in his praise I lift my voice; he has cast down all the mighty, and the lowly are his choice.” “When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.’” Luke 1:41-42 “The Love in this scripture is more than the love of a mother for her child. It’s the love of God who would come to dwell among us, demonstrating God’s great love for us.” “Each time you see a child this week, pray that love would be made real in action.” “God of Love. Continue to take on flesh and be made real in our families, in our communities, and in the world. Amen” From the Upper Room – Nov./Dec. page 42 Day 275 | Saturday, 19 December 2020 Tomorrow will be the fourth Sunday in Advent. I thought I would do something a little different today as we are winding down the Advent Season.   “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”
Day 274 | Friday, 18 December 2020 From the Church Mouse The last Church Mouse discussed Murphy’s Law in three instances. Afterward, I wondered where the term came from and when it began to be popular. I did some research and Simran Khurana provided me with some of the answers. “People fascinated by the capriciousness of the universe must find Murphy's Law and its variations interesting. Murphy's Law is the name given to any adage stating that if anything can go wrong, it will. “ Interpretations of the adage were found in documents dating to the early 19th century. It grew in popularity when Edward Murphy, an engineer working on a project at Edwards Air Force Base, found a technical error made by one of the junior technicians and said, "If there's any way to do it wrong, he will find it." Dr. John Paul Stapp, who was involved with the project, made a note of the universality of errors and fabricated a law, which he titled "Murphy's Law." Later, in a press conference, when reporters asked him how they had avoided accidents, Stapp mentioned that they adhered to Murphy's Law, which helped them steer away from commonly made mistakes. Word soon spread about Murphy's Law, and the term was born. Instead of looking at this adage with a pessimistic view, think of it as a word of caution: Don't overlook quality control and don't accept mediocrity, because a small slip is enough to cause a catastrophe. This is probably a good idea in this time of COVID 19. We have been at this a long time, and it isn’t stupidity or self-centeredness to want to relax, to return to what we most care about, to not have so many rules in so many places to bind us. It is simply human nature to want all these things. BUT….at least we do have a light at the end of the tunnel we have been inhabiting; and for once, we can safely say that the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train. Keep on keeping safe until the time comes when we can all hug each other again. So…enjoy these Murphy’s Laws:
And for any who have been in the military: If it moves salute it; if it doesn’t, pick it up; if you can’t, PAINT IT.  Day 273 | Thursday, 17 December 2020
An Advent Beginning: “Clear away the unnecessary. Put aside the unimportant. Lay down the unrealistic. Keep your ears open for angel songs. Cut the lists in half. Practice saying "no thanks." Look for the moments of stillness. Keep your eyes looking for a star, your hands ready to give, your voice filled with song and your heart longing for joy.” An Advent Invocation: “Gracious God, out of the darkness you send a light; out of a lifeless stump you call forth a new shoot; out of the discord of our lives you proclaim a vision of peace. May your Spirit rest upon us, that the hope which you inspire will be lived out in our lives. We pray this in the name of the One whose birth we prepare to celebrate, Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.” An Advent Prayer of Confession: “How long, O God, 'til we see your face? How long 'til refugees can go home in peace? How long 'til drive-bys, accidental shootings and gang violence leave our neighborhoods? How long must people be discriminated against because of the color of their skin, their accent, their age, their sexual orientation, their handicap, their gender, their appearance? O God, we long for your coming, yet fear the changes you may require. Remind us, God, that sweet baby Jesus grew up and called us to new lives of compassion and justice. Shout in the midst of packages and parties that you come to free us from sin and make us new. Make us ready for Christmas. Walk with us this Advent. Amen.” An Advent Prayer: “Ancient of Days, who comes to us fresh as tomorrow and sure as dawn's bump of the horizon in early light, draw near now and wait with us. We wait for the return of glory, the advent of holy time, the birth of a child. Wait with us for the end of our regret, the rebirth of our joy, the time when old becomes new before our very eyes. Renew us. Give us patience. Let us remember how sure it is that weeping only endures for the night and joy returns in the morning. Let us remember the depth of our sadness on other occasions, and how surely you bring us back to gladness. Give us the patience of Advent, that we may be confident of Christmas but not rush it. Let time slow down now and, in holy patience, let us await you and your entrance into history, even our own. Amen.” “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” Stanza 6 “O Come, thou Dayspring, come and cheer our spirits by thy justice here: disperse the gloomy clouds of night, and death’s dark shadows put to flight. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.” Antiphon 6 “O DAYSPRING, Brightness of the light eternal and Sun of justice: Come, and enlighten those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.” Quote: “Into our midst comes Advent, representing not the end but the beginning of the church year; not the tying-up of all our loose ends, but God's opening up of our future. Its focus is not on all we have to do, but on all God has done, is doing and will do in the marvelous gift of Christ.” -Jean Cramer-Heuerman Day 272 | Wednesday, 16 December 2020
Let me share with you the reading from Luke 1:26-45. This is the foretelling of the birth of Jesus and Mary’s visit to Elizabeth. Luke 1:26-45 Jesus’ birth foretold CEB 26 When Elizabeth was six months pregnant, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a city in Galilee, 27 to a virgin who was engaged to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 When the angel came to her, he said, “Rejoice, favored one! The Lord is with you!” 29 She was confused by these words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 The angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Mary. God is honoring you. 31 Look! You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. 32 He will be great and he will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of David his father. 33 He will rule over Jacob’s house forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom.” 34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen since I haven’t had sexual relations with a man?” 35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come over you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the one who is to be born will be holy. He will be called God’s Son. 36 Look, even in her old age, your relative Elizabeth has conceived a son. This woman who was labeled ‘unable to conceive’ is now six months pregnant. 37 Nothing is impossible for God.” 38 Then Mary said, “I am the Lord’s servant. Let it be with me just as you have said.” Then the angel left her. Mary visits Elizabeth 39 Mary got up and hurried to a city in the Judean highlands. 40 She entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 With a loud voice she blurted out, “God has blessed you above all women, and he has blessed the child you carry. 43 Why do I have this honor, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy. 45 Happy is she who believed that the Lord would fulfill the promises he made to her.” Hymn – “To a Maid Engaged to Joseph” words Gracia Grindal, 1983 (Luke 1:26-38) 1. “To a maid engaged to Joseph, the angel Gabriel came. ‘Fear not,’ the angel told her, ‘I come to bring good news, good news I come to tell you, good news, I say good news.” 2. “’For you are highly favored by God the Lord of all who even now is with you. You are on earth most blest, you are most blest, most blessed, God chose you, you are blest!’” 3. “But Mary was most troubled to hear the angel’s word. What was the angel saying? It troubled her to hear, to hear the angel’s message, it troubled her to hear.” 4. “’Fear not, for God is with you, and you shall bear a child. His name shall be called Jesus, God’s offspring from on high. And he shall reign forever, forever reign on high.’” 5. “’How shall this be?’ said Mary, ‘I am not yet a wife.’ The angel answered quickly, ‘The power of the Most High will come upon you shortly, your child will be God’s child.’” 6. “As Mary heard the angel, she wondered at his words. ‘Behold, I am your handmaid,’ she said unto her God. ‘So be it; I am ready according to your word.’” “Holy One, who fashions the universe and creates all people, weave praise and compassion into the fabric of our lives. Let our hearts overflow with gratitude, always ready to sing, to pour out our praise. Give us, also, hearts of compassion, ready to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, care for the forgotten. Forgive us our reluctance to reach out a helping hand, our rationalizations that mask our fears, our excuses that pale in the face of suffering. Cause us to hear Mary's song anew and give us courage to add our songs of praise and deeds of justice. Amen.” Day 271 | Tuesday, 15 December 2020

More Advent – “A path to our God, winding through the ordinary, weaving through the busyness, overcoming roadblocks and detours. A way to go home, leaving the past in the past, moving from darkness and exile, coming into the light. Advent is a path to our God, a way to come home, a discovery of God's voice: Rejoice, rejoice. God is with us!” An Advent Prayer of Invocation: “We come to praise you, O Lord, and to think again about your love for the world as revealed in your gift of our Lord Jesus Christ. Open our spiritual eyes that we may see, and understand as best we can, the fuller meaning of the coming of the Savior for us all. In his name. Amen.” An Advent Prayer of Confession “Where is your voice, O God? Our ears are bombarded with constant commercial messages served up with cute jingles. Television, radio and computers tell us repeatedly to buy this or buy that and fulfill our needs. Oh, where is your Word, loving Lord, who grants us abundant life? Where are the John the Baptists? Do we listen to modern prophets who challenge us to care for the poor, provide jobs for minority youth, live more sim-ply, treat the foreigner with justice? Where is the silence deep enough that we can listen for your words of healing and courage? Help us, O God, to create a space of stillness like beside still waters and green pastures. Help us, Divine Friend, to persevere in kindness and never give up hope. Your love has never failed us yet, and you are speaking to us even now. Help us hear you in these Advent days. Amen” An Advent Prayer: “Come Savior, robed in light, that we may find the paths you have prepared for us. By your radiant presence, reassure us of your love and protect us from poisonous cynicism and despair. Take away our faithless fears about the future. Secure our hearts in the knowledge that your hand will not lead us where your love cannot support us. Free us from the worldly anxieties that drive us to fight for power and control. Open the eyes of our hearts to perceive the wonder of your holy presence among us, that we may fulfill our days in trust and hope. Let the hope within us so shine that we become beacons of safety and help to those who have lost their way. In the name of Jesus, to the glory of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen” An Advent Blessing “May the rough places in your life be made smooth. May the valleys of despair be filled with comfort. May the door to your heart be wide open. May the glory of Immanuel be with you all your days.” Day 270 | Monday, 14 December 2020
From the Church Mouse These days it seems that no matter what we do, Murphy’s Law reigns. With COVID 19 so prevalent in the population, we must meticulously plan everything that we do. The rules for safety are different depending on where we go. Doug and I go to church on Sunday where everyone is masked and spaced, where everything is cleaned and sanitized. The sanctuary is beautiful, shining and decorated for Advent and Christmas. There is organ and piano music with the anthem and hymns sung by our choir director. He is at the back side of the chancel area, very far from us. We also go to church on Mondays where I work on our touchless Pandemic Food Pantry. We provide much needed food to our city, since we are a New York State Pantry and can remain open. We have utilized the space behind our door to the parking lot and our adjacent Chapel to provide food in prepared bags, with meat, fruit and vegetables added from coolers. The only time we open the door is to push our cart with food outside to the clients. They must be masked and stand back a distance until the door is closed again. When the cart is returned, we sanitize the cart and begin again. We are open from 9:30 AM to Noon on Mondays and Wednesdays and are working to begin a spanish-speaking Pantry day on Friday. We are fully staffed with fill-in people when there is a conflict or illness. Doug works on his programs for History and Records. Currently he is searching for a 1912 wedding certificate. It feels good to be useful during this time and “paying it forward” as we are able. This whole process to create the Pandemic Pantry was full of Murphy’s Law moments. It seemed that every time I plugged a leak in the dike, another leak took its place. I think things are running smoothly, but we’ll see as the winter progresses. Doug and I always try to take a date day each week so we can spend time with each other and no work. With COVID 19, this has usually been taking a drive out in zombie land in our Subaru Pod and eating at a Wendy’s drive-thru. Whatever works! Our date day has usually been Tuesday. However, with Murphy’s Law in effect, there was usually no sun, often rain or some other thing to gum up the works. Now we just hop in the pod if we are free and the sun is out. Let me tell you about two other people experiencing Murphy’s Law. Day Off My cup runs over. Psalm 23:5 (NIV) It was Saturday and Terry and Sandra were getting away for the day. For five days of the week they were serving as round-the-clock caregivers for Sandra’s parents. A professional caregiver covered the weekend for them, They needed to have some fun and rest, so they decided to drive to their favorite near-by lake to hike a bit. On the way to the lake, they hit heavy traffic. Suddenly, their car started to rattle and jerk. Of course, a flat tire they groaned. Two hours later, they left the garage with the unplanned expense of a new tire: Murphy’s Law. Sandra and Terry knew they were blessed that their flat hadn’t happened in light traffic at a higher speed. Sandra was also thinking, however, so much for a fun day to recharge us, as the rain began to come down in torrents. As they drove on in grumpy silence and the traffic slowed to a crawl, they found themselves trailing a van. Looking out of the van’s back window were two golden retrievers, their tongues hanging out and their tails wagging at full speed. Despite their best stubborn resistance, Sandra and Terry began laughing like crazy with tears rolling down their cheeks. For the next ten miles they continued an ongoing goofy dialogue as they traveled along behind the van. The presence of these two golden retrievers filled Sandra with joy, helping her to learn that God is in the details. She knew that only he could have arranged for such happy faces to recharge her for her caregiving week after it seemed that Murphy’s Law truly reigned. Dear Lord, I am in awe of how you work--so mysteriously and wondrously –to bring about blessings and laughter using your beautiful creatures on “one of those days” when nothing goes right. Help me to trust you on all my days, bringing me overflowing peace with the blessings that amaze me. ---Sandra Clifton Day 269 | Sunday, 13 December 2020
The third candle for the third Sunday in Advent is the candle of Joy The assigned Scripture readings for this the third Sunday in Advent are: Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11; Psalm 126; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24 and John 1:6-8, 19-28. Psalm 126 “2 Our mouths were suddenly filled with laughter; our tongues were filled with joyful shouts. It was even said, at that time, among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them!” 3 Yes, the Lord has done great things for us, and we are overjoyed.” 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22 CEB 12 Brothers and sisters, we ask you to respect those who are working with you, leading you, and instructing you. 13 Think of them highly with love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 14 Brothers and sisters, we urge you to warn those who are disorderly. Comfort the discouraged. Help the weak. Be patient with everyone. 15 Make sure no one repays a wrong with a wrong, but always pursue the good for each other and everyone else. 16 Rejoice always. 17 Pray continually. 18 Give thanks in every situation because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Don’t suppress the Spirit. 20 Don’t brush off Spirit-inspired messages, 21 but examine everything carefully and hang on to what is good. 22 Avoid every kind of evil. “When was the last time you found it difficult to contain your joy? What did it feel like in your body and soul to be so joyful? First Thessalonians reminds us that rejoicing and prayer come when we are at peace in our communities, helping the weak, and being patient with everyone. What opportunities do you have to help others, be a peacemaker, and offer encouragement this season?” “Do: look for opportunities to rejoice, encourage, and help in your community.” Pray: God of laughter, expand our joy and help us to share it in our communities this week. Amen” (From the Upper Room, November-December 2020 Advent worship litanies p 41” John 1:6-8 6 A man named John was sent from God. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning the light, so that through him everyone would believe in the light. 8 He himself wasn’t the light, but his mission was to testify concerning the light. John 1:19-28 John’s witness 19 This is John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 John confessed (he didn’t deny but confessed), “I’m not the Christ.” 21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” John said, “I’m not.” “Are you the prophet?” John answered, “No.” 22 They asked, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 John replied, “I am a voice crying out in the wilderness, Make the Lord’s path straight, just as the prophet Isaiah said.” 24 Those sent by the Pharisees 25 asked, “Why do you baptize if you aren’t the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?” 26 John answered, “I baptize with water. Someone greater stands among you, whom you don’t recognize. 27 He comes after me, but I’m not worthy to untie his sandal straps.” 28 This encounter took place across the Jordan in Bethany where John was baptizing. “Let some joy loose, O God. Let it rise to the surface and shake us out of preoccupation with lists and tasks. Forgive us our heavy-hearted approach to your season of joy and light. Do not let our long lists and calendar of events over-whelm the wonder of your Son's birth. Let some joy loose. Let us see the smiles of the children. Let us know the joy of giving to those in need. Let us feel the embrace of your love in the carols sung and stories told. Let some joy loose, O God, some sparkling light into our world of darkness and strife. Let us be people of joy. In Jesus' name. Amen.” Day 268 | Saturday, 12 December 2020
“O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” - Stanza 5: “O come, thou Key of David, come, and open wide our heavenly home. The captives from their prison free, and conquer death’s deep misery. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.” Antiphon 5: “O KEY OF DAVID and Scepter of the house of Israel who opens and no one shuts, who shuts and no one opens: Come, and bring forth from prison the captive who sits in darkness and in the shadow of death.” “People Look East” - Stanza 4: “Angels announce with shouts of mirth him who brings new life to earth. Set every peak and valley humming with the word, the Lord is coming. People, look east: Love, the Lord, is on the way.” Advent: “Come, joy, lighten our spirits. Come, hope, lift us from despair. Come, peace, ease our frantic worry. Come, love, shine in all we do. Come, Jesus, be born in us. Come, Lord, set us free. Come, God, rule in our hearts and teach us to sing with joy!” Advent Prayer: “Most gracious God, prepare our hearts and minds to receive your deep peace. Take from us all weariness of spirit. Hush the anxieties that shout in our minds. Release us from bondage to irritations that deplete our energy. Prepare us now to receive your living Word with joy through Christ our Lord, Amen.” Advent Prayer of Confession: “Loving God, it is true that we do not see your new vision for life. We get stuck in old patterns, bad habits, limited hopes. We do not look deep enough to see you in the midst of difficulty, to find you inside our anxious longing. We do not recognize you in our longing for someone or something to take away the emptiness. We place our hopes on some present, some kind word, some new experience and miss the deepest love which is offered to us by the child in the manger. Persistent God open us to seeing you in the paradoxes of life. Give us reason to smile, knowing you are working in the ups and downs of our busy days. Set loose a new hope in us and in all. Amen.” Advent Prayer: “O Creator, promise for the world, hear our prayers during this time of waiting. We hear your call to journey toward the light, and yet we stumble. Our journey toward your promise of Christ's coming is filled with doubt, pain and often despair that there is meaning in the waiting. Our losses, our worries overtake us, so that we dwell in darkness rather than moving toward the light. [silent prayer] Create in us the thread of hope that pulls us forward from promise to the miracle of new life. Create in us a clean spirit so that our journey is no longer weary but filled with the energy of adventure! As the Christ child comes, so we, too, come back to you. Amen.” Advent Blessing: “In our Lord's peaceful kingdom, the wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and a little child shall lead them. With hearts hungry for this vision of harmony, let us put faith in the child of Bethlehem and follow him in the way of peace.” Advent Quote: “God whispers to us in every candle and carol, every card and crèche: "I love you, I love you." -Leonard Sweet |
