Open Advent Window 2 – Mary and Gabriel By 167th Scout Group on December 2, 2020 (updated July 17, 2023) In Advent2020, Uncategorized / 0 comments Say “Yes!” to Advent-ure Reflection by David Jeanneret (aka Baloo) Life feels pretty tough at the moment. We have popped out of Lockdown in to Tier 3! Many of us might be lonely – missing our friends and family, or afraid of what this uncertainty is bringing. Mary was certainly afraid when the Angel Gabriel appeared to her. After calming her down, Gabriel gave her some extraordinary news – and she said “Yes!” to God’s plan. If you spend some time listening – what can you hear Adventure and God calling you to? Hear the words of Gabriel, “Do not be afraid, Mary… for nothing is impossible with God” Say “Yes!” to God. Say “Yes” to Adventure in this Advent. Read the story of Mary and Gabriel in Luke 1:26-38 Prayer – God, we say “Yes” to you.
