Starry Night: Awaiting

Virginia Wieringa Fine Art

“O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light…”

Advent season is the perfect time to slow down and gaze at the stars. This Advent season each star has been given a unique name and our Saint Luke friends have been invited to reflect on what that name means to them.  Their thoughtful reflections help us to also see the Advent and Christmas in new light.  

Today’s reflection is from Nancy Wood:


Awaiting

As we await Your coming Lord, help Your twinkling light shine through each one of us. May God's Spirit spread rays of peace and hope to others each day. What beam of light can you shine today in the darkness so that God's Light is stronger and God's love prevails? We look forward to the day when Jesus comes bringing love and peace to families, communities, and the world. Hosanna to the Lord for He fulfills God's Word!


Lord be with us this day and help us spread Your love, kindness, caring and acceptance to everyone we meet. We thank you for Jesus who came to show us love and Your ways. Be with us as we await Your coming.

Amen
