“We who are anxious over many things 
look forward to your coming among us. 
We who are blessed in so many ways 
long for the complete joy of your Kingdom.” 
— From “Advent Prayer” by Henri Nouwen

To worry about day to day struggles, one’s community, and the world around us is quite a common practice.  Problems never cease — neither do blessings.

Grace reminds us that every challenge holds opportunity.  We need patience as we anticipate the incarnation of Love.  Trust is required.

How does it feel to know Love is on the way?

May you be inspired!
