I love Advent...maybe because it's short! I like the quiet, the reflective, the slowing down that is part of Advent.
I just read that: although we continue to celebrate Advent as a season, it is more than that. Advent is a way of life, lived in watchfulness for the God who comes...not just at Christmas, as we all know, but EVERY DAY in myriad ways, sometimes wonderful, sometimes in painful disguises. So we wait, not passively, but ACTIVELY! What a wonderful truth!
I wish this reflective quiet. I encourage you to take time each day to find a quiet place, light a candle and just sit. Close your eyes. Quiet yourself, relax your body. And just "be still and know that I am God."
