Embrace the peace

Embrace the peace.

We are entering the silly season. On Saturday there were so many things that I could have attended in preparation for Christmas, all happening at overlapping times. And it will only get worse as we get closer to December 25th.

Yet Advent is supposed to be a time of waiting, a time of preparation, a time of contemplation. When life is busy, it is important to embrace the moments of peace when they occur, or even to carve them out for ourselves. After all, Christmas is all about the arrival of the Prince of Peace.
