The church year begins this Sunday, November 30, the first Sunday in Advent. Now is the time to decide how you will observe this season--the time of anticipating the coming of Christ. How will you wait?
Now, the beginning of the year, also is a good time to review your "rule of life". What brings you closer to God; what leads you away? What aids your growth as a disciple of Christ; what seem to be steps along your way?
As you bring out this year's Advent wreath, arrange the candles, imagine the days of waiting, preparing for Christ to come.
On Sunday begin your journey. Light your first candle. Engage in your discipline. Pray.
Thoughts for footsteps along this journey will appear on this blog weekly. Light and dark will be their theme. You are invited to read them and respond to them as they help your walk. Together we will wait, we will anticipate the coming Christ, we will prepare.
Blessings
Caroline
