A Prayer for the Second Week of Advent

12/11/2018

A few years ago I wrote a set of Advent prayers that I want to make available to everyone this Advent. They first appeared on www.explorefaith.org, and are written in a way that invites us to enter the deep stillness that Advent offers in order to better know ourselves and God. The prayer for the 2nd Week of Advent is titled, Winter's Gold. It’s my favorite because it engages nature and the senses. It is a prayer that needs to be experienced as well as read. So, spend time with it…

Gracious God, the leaves have fallen, the air has become cold, and bare trees now seem to open the sky.  Remind me that this is a time to slow down in order to be attentive to the stark stillness winter brings.  Help me breathe deeply the frigid air and know myself to be held in the warmth of your love.  When the sun is high, let me look up and be bathed in your gift of winter's gold.  When the moon lights up the night, let me look up and drink in your gift of snowy calm.  I ask this for the sake of your love.  Amen.

I also want to remind you that this month’s Daily Muse is focused on the role of angels in our lives. Take a minute or two a day to click on the Daily Muse Calendar and see what angel might be popping up in your life today! You might be surprised!

    Life is rich with texture and beauty. Even the parts that seem unwanted hold within them seeds of grace.

    In this blog, you will find all sorts of snippets and vignettes about life - sometimes whimsical, or poetic, or reflective, or my own experiments with life. Perhaps, you will find yourself somewhere in my random musings. 

    I will write as if I were writing in my personal journal.  Where things touch your soul or might be helpful to someone you know, please share this blog with them.
