The year 2020...wow, what a time we've had...
It has been a wonderful reminder for us that we need to rely on God and on our faith to get through each day. Jesus is walking side by side with us through all of this. And there have been lots of time He is carrying us too.
Jesus is totally the reason for the season. But sometimes we can be reminded even by the secular world that there is more to Christmas than the presents. This commercial is cute... I know it's about Santa...but it is the point of the commercial that was important. And I think this year has really driven home the importance of family and being together and for us also relying on our faith.
It has been hard for so many people not being able to get to church. There are member of my family that still cannot get inside church because of a state wide order... so live streaming and Masses on television and radio are getting them through these times. So it has been very important to me to make sure I get our Sunday Mass live streamed every week, something we never did before 2020. And each Sunday over 300 people join in to watch Mass and have formed an online church community checking on each other. It may not be perfect but it just like the Christians of old who had to hide out in the caves and connect with each other. It's just another facet of a faith that will not be stamped down, forgotten or ignored.
So here is to faith, family, and remembering what is important about everything. God has us in his hands and will never forget us.
Enjoy this Santa moment because it made me laugh and cry. Christmas
