Waiting

Waiting? Waiting for what? Well, today, many of us are waiting for this present snowfall and cold weather to get over and done with before we go out. Personally, it is a time to do other things inside that I have procrastinated doing for a while, including Christmas decorating. 

On a spiritual level, though, the Christian world is waiting for Christmas.  These four weeks before Christmas, called Advent, is a time to prepare ourselves spiritually for that special day, knowing "Christ is the Reason for the Season." We are encouraged to spend more time preparing ourselves spiritually during this time, maybe considering attending mass or praying a bit more, compared to our usual. 

Many  of us find ourselves busier than normal. Expectations become high. Sometimes there are family conflicts  while preparing for the holiday get-togethers.  With all that transpires during these weeks of preparation, spiritual direction may be a consideration, having a companion with whom you can process all these things with, assisting you with what is going on inside of your spirit.  

Waiting is a very profound time; the Blessed Mother certainly knew that! If you are desiring to process all that is going on with you this holiday season, or this winter season and would like a spiritual companion to assist you, consider calling for an appointment for spiritual direction. It might be the best gift you could give yourself!


Season's Greetings to you and yours!
