Advent 2023 4th Sunday
Share
The 4th Sunday of advent, the final candle, the “Angel’s Candle,” symbolizes peace….
In a mixed up world - peace seems evasive,
In a busy life of tasks - peace seems daunting,
In light of the eternal - peace seems imperative…
In the words of the angels - peace seems connected … “fear not”…
As the journey of advent has progressed it has led to the most unlikely of moments…
Focused on the most unlikely cast of characters….and one young soon-to-be Mother….reminded to “fear not” & who claimed that command…
Mary’s “yes” to God is our hope.
This opens the door to God’s actions in our lives…
In a season that seems dominated by perfection…the angels herald a reminder to “fear not”….let His plan play out…
He offers life abundant- not a perfect life- an abundant life…
a reminder this Christmas Eve morning as a to-do check list remains unfinished….
let it be…Christmas is coming…
slow down, breathe in, let it envelope all the fears & striving…
A prayer for grace to stop waiting for perfection and start living in this moment of Christmas, the Grace and Love of Mary’s little boy are not only enough,
but are working daily,
singing songs of peace…
lean in & listen to the angels…..
think on these things…
“But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.”
Luke 2:19
