Dear God,

While I recovered from knee surgery, I leaned on the inspiration that came all during Advent.  The song of faith reached my ears every day.  The hope of Christmas lived and abided within me.  The light of joy wrapped me like a newborn in swaddling clothes.  Who could ask for a greater gift?

Although Advent was filled with pain prior to the surgery, nonetheless, you kept my eye open for Advent surprises.  You spoke your word through countless means and that word kept me close, real close.  You filled me up so when I was recovering, I could still live the Advent life and give praise for all its gifts.  You did this, Lord, you.

Blessed God,
how happy
I am
to feed
on your inspiration.
Thank you
for reminding me
nothing can
hinder us
from experiencing
the joy
you create
for us.
Thank you
for holy time
before, during
and after Christmas.

Love, Andrea
