Thought for the Week
from Anglican Mothers Union Australia
Sunday 7th December
Two Comings
‘The people walking in darkness have seen a great light…’
(Isaiah 9:2a)
Walking in darkness can be nerve wracking.
All the more so in the world before electric light and good torches.
To see the light was a wonderful, breath-taking moment.
Jesus tells us that he is the Light of the World.
He brings the light of his message and work into a world made gloomy by sin and evil.
When we think of this, we are reminded that many people around us know little or nothing
of the true Light and we have an obligation to share that light with them.
Christmas can be a good opportunity to do this.
The first step is to pray constantly for our friends and neighbours.
Question for thought: How do I love my close neighbours?
Heavenly Father, we give thanks for members in Namibia in Southern Africa
who have become a vibrant organisation, keen to reach out and
support family life especially those affected by HIV/AIDS.
May they share the hope and comfort of knowing you. Amen.
