Dear God,

Holy, holy, holy are you, Great God of the Cosmos!  Advent is calling me to holiness, to hurry to Bethlehem and to prepare myself, my whole self for your coming.

Early each morning in the dark, I light my candle.  I plug in the Christmas tree and mantle lights.  I open the drawer and select the next character to join us near the stable.  I sit down and draw near to my circle of friends, book authors, where I read my devotions and listen to wise reflections and insights.  I pray and smile and give thanks.

You are God;
there is none
like you.
How can
I begin
to adequately
give thanks
for the gifts
of this season?
I can
only offer you
my praise
and thanksgiving.
All glory
is due you,
Most High God.

Love, Andrea
