Slow Down

In this season of Advent, which is characterized by watching, waiting, preparing, and anticipating, we are invited to slow down and pay attention to the movement of Spirit in our lives and in our world. But it is not always easy. The culture in which we live our lives is filled to overflowing with influences of a darker sort. The news is filled with stories of fear and violence, intolerance and hate, discord and upheaval. If we are not careful it is all too easy to lose our balance and our way. So, in these days which lead us to Christmas, I invite you to be intentional about making room in your life for God to take up residence. Slow down, remember to breathe, pay attention. Prepare a place in your heart for the Christ to be born.
