SIMPLE GIFTS

Description

Let this Advent be a simple gift you give to yourself!

Advent is far more than just preparation for Christmas. It’s a fresh start, an invitation to enter into the silence and the mystery of whatever is waiting to be born or reborn in our lives. Paradoxically it’s an invitation to slow down, to come away to the quiet, at the very time our daily lives are immersed in activity. Advent invites us to seek a sense of peace and wholeness in our hearts and in our daily lives.

Instead of adding more things to do and add more challenges to meet in an already busy time, Advent calls us to rest, to step back, to learn to appreciate the small events and simple gifts that flow through our days. Slow down, simplify, be grateful, and embrace the mystery of the incarnation.
