Advent always begins with a sense of holy anticipation, a stirring in our spirits that God is near, God is moving, and God is doing something new. Advent invites us into Wonder: not the kind that requires answers, but the kind that opens our hearts to possibility, curiosity, and awe. As we head into Advent, may we pause long enough to notice the signs of God’s presence in our own lives: the unexpected encouragement, the moment of quiet joy, the relationships that give us strength. May we receive the invitation to watch, to listen, and to marvel.
