We might be struggling right now to see God’s plan unfolding, whether in our own lives or those of our children. But Christmas is the beginning of the ultimate happy ending.

Take time to be grateful for the many ways you perceive the world around you—sight, sound, smell, and touch—and the people and places these perceptions evoke.

God doesn’t tell us not to question, but rather not to be afraid. And whether we come to our response slowly or quickly, we do come to it in the end. And with God’s grace, that answer will be yes.

Christmas is a time to rejoice in the good news of the many wondrous things that God has done and will continue to do.

The readings for the Fourth Sunday of Advent remind us that Jesus was born into a human family.

We need to recover and reignite the power of blessing in our lives. It’s a way of making holy both the ordinary and extraordinary moments in our lives.
