Dear God,

What a beautiful sight early in the morning...the lighted Christmas tree reflected not once but three times in the study.  I keep staring because I am mesmerized by the way light blesses in so many ways.

When a single candle is lighted in a dark room, it radiates not just in the room but in the hearts of those there.  The light burnishes the darkness; it adds a dimension to the darkness which brings quiet peace, a soft joy, and thanksgiving.

I am intrigued by the night skies during Advent.  I always know the star of Bethlehem is hidden from view but ever ready to shine the night of Christmas Eve.  I gaze upon the shiny white stars against the black and my heart grow full in love for you.  Only you could bring such great beauty, joy, and wonder.

Thank you,
Mystical God,
for the gifts
of Advent.
Thank you
for the light
that shines
in the world
and in the
human heart.
Thank you
for early
Advent mornings
that spread
your glory.

Love, Andrea
