Dear God,

In the early morning I watched the candle light dance on my altar.  Suddenly the light moved from the altar to my heart.  The light warms, embraces, heals, helps, guides, enables, equips, blesses and loves, you reminded me.  Where I had been cold sitting on the couch, I felt the warmth come into me.

That is how your light works, O Lord.  It does all these things and more.  It brings peace and joy and mercy and grace.  A simple, single light can do so much for faith.

I love this Advent season.  I love the insights that come.  I love the holiness of soul preparation.  I love being near you.  I love waiting, anticipating the coming of Christ!

Bless you,
O Lord,
for the gift
of Advent.
Thank you
for making it possible.
Thank you
for this
prized time
of the year.

Love always, Andrea
