As Christmas approaches, I am reminded of the words of Christine Sine*, written in 2018.
“We think of Advent as a time of us waiting for the birth of Christ, yet in some ways it is just as much a time of Christ waiting for us – waiting for us to notice him, to take time to acknowledge him and to more than anything, waiting for us to allow his light to shine through us.”
She went on to write the following poem which touches me as much today as it did when I first read it. I hope that it will touch you too!
*Christine Sine is the founder and facilitator for Godspace, which grew out of her passion for creative spirituality, gardening and sustainability. She describes herself as a contemplative activist, passionate gardener, author, and liturgist.
