Advent--Is Silence Part of It?

Thank you Holly for the constant encouragement

you bring to our journeys!

"Walking with Jesus is feeding the hope, not despair."

"Hope is the antidote of despair."

"Expectant hush, not a last minute rush."

These are some of the phrases that I heard last Sunday at church. 

When we are talking about the hope that the whole advent season represents, I want to to have the "expectant hush" instead of being in such a rush that I cannot even sit still. I want to have moments when I can be silent, waiting for God and waiting on God. I want to go to these moments with the expectation that God will be there as well!

Candle of Hope

You bring light to my eyes

and to my soul

Your light will shine

and free me from the darkness

You bring light to my heart

and fill it with joy

Your light will penetrate

and wash away the mistakes

You bring light to the world

and silence despair

Your light will come

and show me the way home

May His light shine on you during this season of advent. 

May the hope that He represents take you to the place of expectant hush while you sit a moment away from the last minute rush.

Wishing you a blessed advent season!
