Advent 1 - My Soul in Stillness Waits...

Advent has arrived. Our time of waiting, expectation, and stillness. The lighting of the first candle on the Advent wreath signifies a flicker of light illuminating our way to the birth of the Light of the World which we look to celebrate on Christmas. A tiny little light, a tiny little baby. Barely noticeable, either one, yet filled with the promise of all that is and is yet to be. The tiny flame that tops the first candle of the Advent wreath reminds me of the bright light that lives within me, Jesus Himself. The tiny flickering flame calls me to enter into the stillness on the journey towards Christmas.
