Be patient, therefore, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains.
James 5:7
This was part of our Monday night lectio, and I was surprised how comforting not only I, but the rest of our small group found the passage to be. The reminder that all has not yet been revealed was a gift for us all.
I love red poinsettias and always have one or two in the house this time of year. Yet, white flowers, even the very small, always seem to speak of the potential of peace that Christmas can bring. May we go about our preparations with love. Let your love go even further; as you shop, support local businesses and artists as best you can.
Make your house fair as you are able, trim the hearth and set the table.
People look east: Love, the Guest, is on the way.
