Pastor Ed told me this story about one of our fellow clergyfolk. Apparently it was the middle of Advent, as it is now. (I like to imagine that maybe he had performed a funeral or two already that week, as I'm doing now.) In any case, it was the middle of Advent, and this pastor went to visit an elderly shut-in member of his congregation. And so he entered her house, which was quite warm, and sat down in a confortable chair to visit with her.
And then, quite suddenly, he realized that she was grasping his shoulder and asking him if he was okay.
He had fallen asleep.
When he explained that he had drifted off, she responded, ever so kindly, "You must be very tired."
Isn't that just about the sweetest thing you've ever heard?
Be good to each other,
Rev. Josh
