It is your soul which matters. We are told that a reporter asked Pablo Casals at age 95 why even though he was already acclaimed as the world's greatest cellist why he still practices six hours a day. He stayed in the race. It was in Bethlehem God chose to touch history. Christ's coming always creates a new threshold for our lives - an opportunity of discovery.
Advent opens to new horizons.
In every thin and ordinary place of your life, know this, Christ is coming. You see Advent is about discovering that God gives us something to hope for. Come Lord Jesus.
