Advent III

There are times when things don't go as planned at dialysis and I get down. Then I always get a reminder that life is o.k. I went to the late liturgy at St. James and saw a family sitting a few pews in front of me: mother, father, daughter and son. The daughter's head was bald. Perhaps it was due to chemo therapy or similar treatment. I'm sure they have gone through and continue to go through difficult times, however, she was alive and going to take the Eucharist with her family and the rest of the the communicants. During this Advent we remember that God is with us in illness and health.
