Lingering in the Season Part 1

Dec 04 2014 Lingering in the Season Part 1

Let’s linger this holiday season.

Close your eyes and count to three…

Now open them. 

That’s how fast this Christmas season will seem to rush if we don’t S L O W it down. And that takes a bit of intentionality on our part.

Over the years, I have intentionally lingered in this beautiful Advent season. In the next few blogs, I will share my lingerings with you.

 SAVORING THE SEASON  NUMBER  ONE:

TEA BY THE TREE…

Or coffee, or hot chocolate …

Back in the days when my boys went to bed before I did, I enjoyed my hot tea by the tree in the quiet hours of the night. These days, I grab a quiet moment in front of the lovely, lit Christmas tree when I can.

This is a sweet time to reflect on the season’s meaning, remember days of Christmas past, or pray. Take the time to just BE.

“Come, Thou long-expected Jesus,

Born to set Thy people free;

From our fears and sins release us;

Let us find our rest in Thee…”
