The Gift of Quiet The Gift of Time

TIMES OF QUIET

"OUR HEARTS -- our spirits -- wait for the coming of the Christ child.

We have worked hard during this Advent season to listen to God's voice, to turn over our fears and worries, to make a place in all the chaos to be able to welcome God into our lives and hearts. During these last days of Advent, we continue to wait.

May these final days include times of quiet.

Open wide the door to our hearts.

Let there be spaces, silences, and open places.

Let us give ourselves the gift of time."


-- Beth A. Richardson "CHILD OF THE LIGHT"
