NOW IS THE TIME

Christians all over the world are entering into a time called advent.  Nature has it's seasons when the leaves fall and the days grow darker.  People are walking faster to keep warm especially when the wind is pushing at their backs.  It is time to layer a few extra clothes as I get ready for my walk each day.

Time now to wander back into the past and let the story of a birth of a baby speak to our hearts once again.  We have read ancient quests about the idea of God, who he is and what he does.  We can easily argue with the ideas that disagree with our view of the world and the values that we build our lives upon.

Religion has been a process that even now is being formed and kept alive in the lighting of the candles and heavenly music and the reenactment of the story that whether we realize it or not change the perception of God.  God was not far off but he is apart of time.

Now is the time to take time for friends and family as well as time to awaken the inner soul to a beauty that outlives time and will outlive us.

Having tea with Shirley and coffee with Jane and Geof have made this week a happy time.

Sharing an evenning with our home group as we share experiences that have imprinted their lives and as they retell them it it is a gift that lifts our spirits.
