Dear God,

"A great light shone..."; when I think of the light that Christmas night, I think of a blinding light, yet, warm, radiant, and gentle, peace-giving, the light piercing the darkness.  This morning I walked into our dark living room, struck a match, and lighted the scented candle. As the single flame danced, I thought of that night and let it pierce my own darkness.

A single light in a dark room can give so much hope, peace, and joy.  It can bless way beyond its capability, becoming something more than a candle flame.  It can bring restoration, renewal, and blessing.  I waited and watched knowing in my soul, I was watching the dance of your spirit.

Blessed Advent God,
thank you
for this
great waiting time,
moments of hope,
anticipation, and faith.
Thank you
for being
the light
in my
own home.
Thank you
for coming.

Love, Andrea
