Let Every Heart Prepare Him Room
Today’s cuppa is my usual, a strong English Breakfast tea with a tad of sugar and a splash of milk.
Starting with the Advent season, I pull out one of my Christmas mugs. These weeks before Christmas fill me with greater joy as each year passes. In today’s photo I include a candle, symbolizing the Light that has come into the world through Jesus Christ. In addition you will notice the wax-encased amaryllis, an Advent gift to myself. I look forward to watching it unfold in beauty through the weeks ahead.
Advent is all about making time and space for wonder, pondering, watching, waiting and the mystery of the Incarnation to impact our hearts year by year.
May I encourage you to consecrate time (even 10 minutes) and space each day of this season to slow down and turn your eyes upon Father, Son and Holy Spirit in trust and expectation. You might want to read a treasured Christmas passage again and again over several days, noticing a phrase or picture or concept that leads you on a deeper and richer journey into God’s heart for the world and for you.
Cheers and much love,
Nancy
