Martin Luther, early Lutheran, considers grace. Christ acted kindly to us, unworthy, by giving us mercy. Thus we should give kind service to unworthy neighbors.
Today, unworthiness is an excuse for everything from walling off these people, to using harsh language and mockery to convert them.
How can you A) consider your own unworthiness and B) exert kindness to unworthy people today?
Today five million Americans said, “oh no you don’t, not on my watch,” and my heart is full. I applaud and thank every one of you.
Happy 8th and last night of #Hanukkah
From darkness to light may this be a year of happiness, peace and good health.

Press Watch · New York Times editor Joe Kahn says defending democracy is a partisan act and he won’t do it | Press WatchJoe Kahn, after two years in charge of the New York Times newsroom, has learned nothing.
Marcus Dods, Free Church of Scotland minister, urges Christians to do what they can to build up those with shattered lives. He says “it is only through us” that God works. Passing by on the other side (Luke 10) prevents God’s love.
Are modern preachers more apt to urge the shattered to pray for a breakthrough? Do we resist providing even “little kindnesses” lest we reward poor choices?
What kindness can you do today?
!["[We should] not omit to use the opportunities we actually have of doing even little kindnesses, of undergirding the shattered life of individuals, and so enabling them to do what otherwise they could not do. But we shall never do our part, either to individuals or on a large scale, until we apprehend that it is only through us and others that God works, and that when we pass by a needy person we prevent God's love from reaching him, and disappoint the purpose of God."](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/112/348/188/261/405/761/original/efed266cff256e65.png "\"[We should] not omit to use the opportunities we actually have of doing even little kindnesses, of undergirding the shattered life of individuals, and so enabling them to do what otherwise they could not do.

Thank you to the amazing people who have been sending hearts 
Our YMHC Heart to Heart Campaign launched in January 2024. We are looking for hearts to be sent to us at 51 Stuart Street in Hamilton, ON, L8L 1B5. These hearts can help provide those struggling important mental health support. Messages of support will be added to the knit or crochet hearts.
“So…I went out from my home to see you guys, and out of nowhere, I started smelling tear gas and it made me like…cry a lot. I felt suffocated. I started crying...I didn’t want this to be the first impression of meeting you. Unfortunately, this happens quite often.” #BrightStarsOfBethlehem #BeTheLight #Palestine #WestBank #CeasefireNow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z95b0dOLd1o

Winter solstice.
The darkest day, a time to celebrate a brighter future.
I wish I could believe that things are going to get lighter.
It feels that darkness has invaded the world.
Yesterday we learned that college and university for women in Afghanistan has been stopped, active immediately.
We also had the high court decision that the UK can legally send refugees to Rwanda.
The darkest day!
But where is the promise of a brighter future?
Will the light return?
I wish I could celebrate.
But that's impossible unless safe passage is offered to those fleeing persecution and war.
I hear constantly the word "illegal".
Seeking asylum, seeking protection, is not illegal!
You cannot have an illegal asylum seeker!
Seeking asylum is a right! Not illegal!
Please bring the light, it's ok if it's slow, just be the light in the darkness.
