The first day of advent...

Today begins the official season of advent. I wait, in anticipation, for what God will do in our hearts this season. I wait eagerly for His return. I wait with the hope that those who have not experienced God's forgiving grace will turn to Him. I wait, knowing that every day He tarries is a day that I can be salt and light. I wait and teach my children to do the same. We wait.

Light the purple candle and take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.
