| The
season of Advent sill soon arrive. This Advent we will follow the
star from Lexington to Bethlehem where we will greet the newborn Savior.
Advent is a time of waiting, preparing and anticipating. It is a
time to make room once again for Gods presence in our heart and lives.
May your Advent be filled with the light of the star and may you rekindle God’s promise of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. In
God’s great hope,
STAR-GIVING |

| What
I’d really like to give you for Christmas is a Star...
Brilliance in a package, Something you could keep in the pocket of your jeans Or in the pocket of your being, Something to take out in times of darkness, Something that would never snuff out or tarnish, Something you could hold in your hand, Something for wonderment, Something for pondering, Something that would remind you of What Christmas has always meant: God’s Advent Light into the Darkness of the world. But Stars are only Gods for giving And I must be content to give you words and wishes and Packages without Stars. But I can wish for you Life As radiant as the Star That announced the Christ Child’s coming, And as filled with awe as the Shepherds who stood Beneath its Light, And I can pass on to you the Love That has been given to me, Ignited countless times by others Who have knelt in Bethlehems Light. Perhaps, if you ask, God will give you a Star. --Ann Weems |
