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 love
finding room to reside in you this week?
When did love
surprise you?
Where did you
discover love within you?
What does love
feel like? Taste like? Sound like?
Love found me this
week in the poem/prayer of Jan Richardson yesterday. Love found me in a hug…in a laugh…in a
tear. Love found me in a gift of cookies
made with butter, sugar, and much affection.
Love found me in moments with family…in singing “Canticle of the
Turning”…and in trusting that someone out there is reading these words that
might help in some small ways. Love is
who God is, who you and I are crafted in the image of, to be right here and
now.
Now is your
turn…respond to those questions about how you are tending and turning and
embodying love in these days. How are
you both awaken to and sharing love as true in our world today? May these questions move us closer to the
place where God enters in anew this Advent. Amen.
