We tend to see what we look for. When I was pregnant, it suddenly seemed as if there were pregnant people everywhere. It wasn’t true, I was just noticing.
So during Advent, we work on noticing. We’re looking for God active in the world right now — God ruling the universe, God alive and with us, and God whose abundance always brings new life.
Our decorations reflect this. The lights on houses bring life and beauty into the darkness. And frankly, I don’t really notice the roof line on houses until I see the lights. Trees with lights suddenly take on amazing shape. Lights on walkways are so inviting!
This week, keep your eyes open for God. Notice the grace that is already with us. And keep decorating!
Peace,
Pastor Mia
