Posted to Facebook December 10th.
The church I grew up in had many holiday traditions. One of them was lighting a candle in the advent wreath each Sunday in December. Each candle represents an essence of Christmas -- Hope, Peace, Joy and Love.
Here is my LOP Advent:
December 2nd -- HOPE: not a fear-filled worry about the future, but a belief without evidence of the well-being that abounds.
December 9th -- PEACE: not everyone behaving in a similar way, but the harmony that our differences working together creates.
December 16th -- JOY: not a trouble free life, but a life of transcending that which troubles.
December 23rd -- LOVE: not predicated on you making me feel good, because me, unconditionally loving you, always feels good.
Merry Christmas!
