Spiritual Disciplines of Advent: Week 2

Reading of Advent Scripture of your choice

Reflection on Being:
At this time of year there are many messages all around us that confuse what the season is to be about. With this can come and endless, busy list of things we "should be doing." An alternative response might be to focus on how to be fully present to the waiting in expectation for the coming of God in Christ. What kind of courage does it take to put away the list of "shoulds" and focus on just being in the season?
Practice for the week:
Take time to just be fully present to a friend or family member. Set aside a few minutes each day to be in the presence of God. How do these things change your experience of the season?

Time spent in quiet reflection and prayer
Amen
