Advent 1 - I am ready

Advent 1 – I am ready
​
Light of the world:
As my little spot on this earth
tilts away from the 
warming sun, as days 
continue to shorten
while shadows lengthen,
and cold winds turn rain to snow, 
I am ready. I am ready for this 
season of waiting, anticipation, 
hope, slowing down, and
embracing darkness even while 
yearning for light.
I am ready to light a candle
in the night, a bold prayer
and declaration that
I am ready to receive the
gifts of incarnation:
God among us, 
here, now.
Amen
