Hello friends,

In this hectic time of holiday preparation, we are called to pause, take in the purple of the Advent season and savor the quiet serenity of this sacred time.

We wait, we watch, we are still in this holy season of prayer.

A quote from Edward Hays:

"Advent, like its cousin Lent, is a season for prayer and reformation of our hearts. Since it comes at winter time, fire is a fitting sign to help us celebrate Advent.

If Christ is to come more fully into our lives this Christmas, if God is to become really incarnate for us, then fire will have to be present in our prayer.

Our worship and devotion will have to stoke the kind of fire in our souls that can truly change our hearts. Ours is a great responsibility not to waste this Advent time."

As promised, Emmanuel is coming. Prepare your heart for His arrival.

As each candle is lit, the promise grows brighter. May your Advent intensify your patience with waiting – we know, deep within our soul, what is coming - the Christ Child. Come, O Radiant Dawn.

Wishing you a blessed Advent!

Thanks for visiting,

Bonnie
