Happy December!

December greeted us with a dusting of snow, fresh and white. I love December snow. (But if you ask me after I have to start setting my alarm an hour earlier just so I can shovel the driveway before getting ready for work, I might have a different sentiment...)

Amidst the busyness of this advent season, I want to take time to meditate on the reason for the busyness and celebrations. I think it is fitting that Christmas comes on the heels of the shortest and darkest day of the year. A light in the darkness; hope in the midst of despair. Hope that all of the sad things are coming untrue. Hope that our King will return, not as a baby in a manger, but as a warrior on a white horse. Hope of a new Heaven and new Earth.
