Tippe Talk


Dec 10, 2020

The spirit of Advent is one of longing…longing for more, for other…for we know deeply…there must be more. Surely God is not done with creation yet. We know…we cannot make it through on our own…to figure it out, fix what is broken, address the myriad needs we see. So there exists this longing…perhaps…more…a sacred trust. 

In Advent, we give ourselves…perhaps hesitantly at first but then more fully…give ourselves to Holy possibility. We journey into Advent as faithfully as we are able. We only move forward…together.  This is our prayer and an affirmation of the love of God for each of us, all of us. This is ADVENT’s hope, love, joy, peace. 

I wonder, given today’s readings, if God is thinking: “Oh Human Being, be glad you are here… right there where you are.  I am with you.  Please…don’t rush ahead…in search of Christmas.  Don’t rush!  You’ll miss it…the Advent of something new coming into your world.” 

 Advent isn’t passive… It is about living a transforming life even while waiting eagerly, expectantly…to be even further transformed!
