Next Sunday is already the Advent season! How time flies, indeed!
Advent is a season of waiting, but not the kind of waiting that feels empty or slow. It is a hopeful waiting—like watching the horizon for the first light of morning. During Advent, we prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus, who enters our world not with power or noise, but with the quiet love of a child.
This season reminds us that God works in small and simple ways. A smile, a helping hand, a moment of patience—these are little candles of light we can offer each day. Advent invites us to slow down, breathe, and listen for God’s gentle voice in our busy lives.
As we light each candle of the Advent wreath, we remember that Christ is our hope, our peace, our joy, and our love. May this time help us welcome Him not just into our homes, but into our hearts, so that we can become bearers of His light to others.
