Dear ,
In this Advent season, may you find time to be still and enter into the quiet longing for God's light in the midst of darkness. May you find practical ways to keep the focus of the season on the God whose gift is love. May this Advent journey be time be a time of grace and reconciliation -healing those places of fracture and fragmentation so that you may be ready to provide a welcome space for the Prince of Peace.
