Dear Friends in Christ -
This little thought from Edward Hays in "A Pilgrim's Almanac" inspired and challenged me today . . .
"Advent, like its cousin Lent, is a season for prayer and reformation of our hearts. Since it comes at winter time, fire is a fitting sign to help us celebrate Advent…If Christ is to come more fully into our lives this Christmas, if God is to become really incarnate for us, then fire will have to be present in our prayer. Our worship and devotion will have to stoke the kind of fire in our souls that can truly change our hearts. Ours is a great responsibility not to waste this Advent time."
May your heart so catch fire with the power of the Miracle that you won't even feel the weight of the responsibility of preparing well for His coming.
Blessings,
Janet+
