IT IS A PRACTICE that brings depth to the season and calm to my soul; a daily watching for the promise that when darkness surrounds, light is to come.

This is Advent, to me.

It’s what we all want, is it not? What we need? To hang on? When life is hard, when the world is overwhelming, when its demands, its sorrows, its hardship are too much to bear—this reminder we are loved all the more. We are seen. We are treasured. We are cared for.

Light is to come, that’s the promise.

Watch for it, hang on for the glimpses. This is Advent.

Note: I’m looking for light all through Advent, and sharing images via Instagram and Facebook. I’d love for you to join me. Share, if you want, with the hashtag #lookingforlightTDG. That way we’ll be able to find each other.
