St. Catherine Laboure'
Christmas has been different this year. I have struggled to get into the spirit and yet I have been drawn nearer to the true meaning.
My decorations were few but meaningful. I was waiting for my family to gather and they have, but there is still a quiet longing to see Michael sitting in his recliner enjoying the festivities. I know that I will miss him every day and especially on holidays tho' that does not make it easier.
I have waited expectantly for the season and now the day has come when the earth stands still and hopes that there will be peace on earth, good will toward men. It starts with me.
Lord,
I stand before the manger and there You are. An innocent baby.
Yet all our hopes are laid at your feet.
Help us to take a moment today to stand silent.
To be at peace. To be filled with wonder.
~Cindy
