The Wait

Unity of Farmers Branch (Formerly The Church Of One Love)

Advent: the arrival to come. To everything there is a season, and in our culture we like the season of Having & Doing. The season of Advent asks us to wait and just BE. Mary could not force the birth of the Christ, but had to wait for the wisdom of her body. The Magi could not speed up their quest, but only follow the star of their intuition and trust it would lead them to where they were meant to be at the right time. We also are invited to enter a season of spiritual preparation--waiting for the coming birth, the gifts, the light, the birth.
