An Advent reflection

As we begin this Advent season let's stop and reflect for a little. We are often moving too fast, too quickly, and never taking time to look around. Advent is a time of looking forward to the coming of Christ and a time of patience the complete opposite of what our world tells us to do.

Throughout this course we have talked about all the things that make our lives. Our love, or friendships, our sexuality, and even ourselves.

For this entry, in a 4-5 paragraph reflection, pause and reflect about all the things in your lives.

  • Contemplate how you would change things. Would you make drastic changes or simple changes? Why?
  • What would you not change? Why?
  • What can you do differently in your lives to help make more apparent the love of Christ in the world?
  • What makes us willing to open our hearts during the “giving” season? What is the gift of life that we can give humanity?

Love you and see you soon!
