The second Sunday of Advent sees the candle of peace being lit.
Peace - the quiet that we seek from the noise of the world, turning off the news, listening to the rain fall, closing your eyes and listening to your most recent favorite music.
Peace - watching a child sleep, a purring cat in your lap, laughing till you cry
Peace - prayer before falling asleep, reading scripture that affirms God's love and care for God's creation.
As Advent continues to unfold, we also remember that it was a peaceful night that the shepherds were enjoying when the angels broke into it to proclalim a different kind of peace had come into the world. How open are you to having your peace changed...that in the chaos of change there comes a new reality, or a new kind of peace. I do think that is part of the season we are in. God broke into Mary and Joseph's life - and changed everything.
It is late, off to peaceful rest...
God bless and God's peace be in your life.
