Yesterday we had our Church’s Christmas Contada. It was a beautiful service that ended with Holy Communion. Deborah’s husband Clark plays the organ. At the start of communion he played the song; Mary Did You Know? Because of where our Christmas tree is placed, you can’t physically see Clark this time of year. He was certainly making a joyful noise with his service; “Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” Ps 100:2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

That song and the practice of Holy Communion got me thinking about our Mindset. The song opens up with; “Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?” It poses many questions following that one. If we knew the impact we were creating through our service, through our actions, and our reactions would we carry a better mindset?

The theory of the Butterfly Effect is that small things can have big impact. Everything we do is a ripple effect. The next question posed in the song is; “Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?”. God’s great gift of salvation to us is meant to be shared with the world. What ripple effect are we making with a closed mindset?

Let’s be mindful today on the impact we are creating and the mindset we are carrying throughout our day. If you look on the TV screen pictures below it reads; “Eternal God, we give thanks for this holy mystery”. Make sure to give our God Thanks today for all his great mysteries.
