In past years I’ve focused on Advent here at the blog during this time of year.
Celebrating the season this way has been a recent addition. It’s something I didn’t know about when I was growing up and have found it a rich inclusion for not just me but from my family also. It has added to my spiritual awareness and created a way to better prepare the manger of my heart for the gift of Grace personified.
To find some other previous reflections that may interest you further, please do a search in the sidebar search field for “Advent”.
Although I will not be writing too many public reflections here related to Advent this year, I will be doing a personal Advent retreat and gathering up those things in my heart.
For now, I want to share a quote I found that seemed to have significance for me and I hope that you will too.
This is the perfect time to awaken.
Be blessed and may gratitude sustain your joy all through this season.
“Our spiritual life depends on [God’s] perpetual coming to us, far more than on our going to him. Every time a channel is made for him he comes; every time our hearts are open to him he enters, bringing a fresh gift of his very life, and on that life we depend. We should think of the whole power and splendor of God as always pressing in upon our small souls.”
–Evelyn Underhill
