I just LOVE advent. It's much better than celebrating 'Christmas' which has been taken over by crazy consumers (all of which shop on State street right by the Farmstand). I've been enjoying this time of quiet anticipation, waiting and hoping- and it's been beautiful. The Book of Common Prayer has been taking me back- reminding me why I love the Episcopalian tradition and the long standing history of common prayers and daily readings.
'Deliver us in our various occupations from the service of self alone, that we may do the work you give us to do in truth and beauty and for the common good; for the sake of him who came among us as one who serves.'
Wishing you all a beautiful advent. :)
