As we approach the season of Advent, I am struck with the heaviness that many of my friends will experience this year…empty chairs at the holiday table, empty cribs in the nursery, so many dreams that have yet to come to fruition. It is a season of hope and expectant waiting, but I know that for some it can feel isolating and can cause grief to deepen. This year, I’ll be writing a brief, encouraging thought each day throughout advent (Dec. 1 – Dec. 25) for all those who see themselves as spiritual refugees, exiles, or wanderers this season – or those whose grief makes the joyous feelings of Christmas difficult to access. My hope is to bring you, if but for a moment, into the presence of Divine Hope.
