Greetings!
On Sunday night, November 27th, I begin the 8th in this series of 13 reflections on human virtues. This series will conclude on Christmas Eve.
There is depth and meaning and hope behind all that we do. Realistically though, we can't always be focused on that deeper level. We are just too wonderfully human for that. When you laugh at a joke heartily, it just feels so good. There is something in delighting in a meal or grieving mournfully over the loss of a loved one, or glancing at the powerful waves of the ocean, that doesn't cry out for meaning, but just is what it is. But, sometimes, behind the good laugh or the great loss and the awesome waves, we sense a gentle calling to us to be all that God has planned for us to be. We know there is "more". Stepping aside to reflect now and then , draws out of us something very important....a clearer understanding of the path that God has us on, and the freedom that He has placed inside each one of us to choose our next steps with the moments we have on this earth.
So, I invite you to join me on this Advent Journey towards Christmas. These are personal thoughts from my own life and experiences, but hopefully ones that shed a bit of light as well on the universal experience of learning to know and love God, our neighbor and ourselves better.
For those of you who are of a different faith tradition than Christian, there is so much we have in common when we talk about virtues. Consider joining us as well in the spirit of sisterhood.
A HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO
YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES.
