Given my grumblings yesterday, the arrival, not long afterwards, in my feedreader of this Advent sermon by Maggi Dawn was pretty apposite. God is to be found in the darkness as well as in the light - and :
If we confidently depend upon the knowledge that God's gifts, unlike Santa's, are not delivered to deadlines, then we can live within the seasons knowing that the gifts they represent will come to us eventually - not necessarily on time, and probably when we least expect them.
- for the rest of the reflection, go here.
Thanks for the reminder. It speaks very much into where I've been and from time to time continue to be on my own journey.
The artwork above comes from my recent retreat at St Beunos, from a grey, grey period halfway through the week when I was struggling with this sense of 'spiritual discombobulation.'
[p.s And for once, the Linkwithin widget's choice of post is entirely appropriate!]
