“Can you find contentment this Advent season not in the gifts or family gatherings, but in His presence with you?  Let the peace of knowing God is with you and He will never leave you nor forsake you be sufficient this Advent season. “

In a world drowning in anxiety, confusion, and unmet longings, Advent calls us to lift our eyes. Our hope is not fragile. It does not rise or fall with circumstances. It is anchored in the resurrection of Christ and guaranteed by the Lord who is faithful.

As the snow begins to fall and the smell of turkey drifts through the air, I encourage you to reflect, give thanks, and remember the blessing of today. You have breath in your lungs right now, and this day is a gift!
