Here is the truth
we are preparing our hearts for this Advent: again and again God enters our
life in the strangest places. Again and
again God surprise earth with heaven.
Again and again amid hustle and bustle and crisis and worried lives God enters
into our hearts looking for a place to reside.
We return to the
quote above on this Friday, to let these words guide us and open us during the
season of Advent.
How is peace
finding room to reside in you this week?
When did peace
surprise you?
Where did you
discover peace within you?
What does peace feel
like? Taste like? Sound like?
Peace found me
this week when looking at Christmas lights.
Peace surprised me this week when I was out for a morning walk with the
sun just starting to rise on a new day.
Peace found me as I slowed down to God’s pace rather than the frenzied
pace life decrees. Peace feels like this
moment, peace tastes like a marshmallow ~ fluffy/airy/sweet, peace sounds like
a bell softly, slowly ringing returning my attention to God’s presence
here.
Now is your
turn…respond to those questions about how you are tending and turning and
embodying peace in these days. How are
you both awaken to and sharing peace as true in our world today? May these questions move us closer to the
place where God enters in anew this Advent. Amen.
