HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Sunday Reflection (November 29, 2020)
We can look for all the signs we want for the Lord’s Second Advent, but the reality is that we will not know when Christ returns until it has already happened (Mark 13:32-37). One day it will happen, and although that has not happened yet, may we be aware of our own impending deaths as await the Lord’s Second Advent. May we be ready! Preparations being today!
“Advent is an expression of our faith in the possibility of a better world. We do not have to be at each other’s throats. We can ‘do right’ in the areas of race relations, family obligations, and personal responsibilities. We can ‘do good’ to the poor, the elderly, the homeless, and to all our brothers and sisters at home and abroad. We can become blameless, beacons of social justice, examples of faith and love, peacemakers” (Gerald Darring).
Prayer for the Week (November 22-November 28)
Let us pray that we reign with Jesus by serving with him: God our Father when you wanted to show us that you are the Lord of all people, you sent us Jesus your Son as the humble servant of your love. Give us faith to learn from him that to serve is to reign.
Amen.

Sunday Reflection (November 22, 2020)
The prophet Ezekiel envisioned a future in which God himself would shepherd the people with fairness and justice. The leaders of ancient Israelite society had not practiced fairness and justice (Ezekiel 34:1-4, 11-12, 20-22). It was a society in which the strong and influential forgot that the advocate for the poor, the weak, and the vulnerable was none other than God! Maybe it is not unlike our society!
Likewise, Jesus notes (Matthew 25:31-46) that fates are determined by “how we treat the ‘least of these.’” God judges us not only for the wrong we have done but also for what we have failed to do. This is not the things beyond our ability to do, but the things within our ability, that we have failed to do. We are judged as individuals and as a nation by how we have treated the poor, the weak, and the vulnerable. God has entrusted us with treasures so that through our actions the world can get a glimpse of God’s kingdom of care and love.
