Yet, we are also aware of an indomitable Spirit that pervades even the worst situations and somehow carries people through. As we approach the holiday season of Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year and Epiphany, we are aware of the importance of paying attention to this Spirit, of being thankful for it, celebrating it, and trying to be in tune with it in our lives. It is this indomitable Spirit, God ' s Holy Spirit, that reminds us of the joy and the love that can be had in our lives when we begin to wade through all the pain and hurt, see through all the glitz and dazzle, to the one true light that shines and radiates. We feel pulled and tugged, dragged down and stomped on instead of elated and joy-filled. The season of joy too often turns into a season of gloom.
Advent is a time to sit and be, as well as to do and become.
This season of Christ ' s coming, come to Christ yourself. Come fill yourself up with the true Spirit of Christ, God ' s Holy Spirit.
