We just celebrated the third week of Advent which indicates that Christmas is very near. As it draws  closer, sometimes the sense of urgency increases which seems to further shove the reason for the season aside. 

Peace too often is a word or concept of the absence of conflict or troubles. I believe that we seek much more than that when we ask for peace.

The words of the Advent wreath...Peace, Hope, Joy and Love. Isn’t that what all of us want in our lives? If we had those, could we feel like we had it all? I thought that I would spend my midweek blog for the next 4 weeks of December reflecting each week on one aspect. Let's light the candle of Hope.
