It's CHRISTmas time! In the Christian calendar we call this the season of Advent. We who practice the celebration of Advent, do so because we are looking forward to something... according to Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
The Celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come.
The journey to CHRISTmas is about knowing with clarity that God is with us in every moment. Through our pain. God is with us. He is with us in the waiting. God's being ever present gives us courage when we feel anxious and the storm swells.
In this Third Sunday of Advent , we light the candle of Peace. We'll look at the story of the Apostle Paul, in Acts 27 when caught in the storm. Sometimes we are in storm because of circumstances we chose or that chose us. But either way, God is with us.
