And so we have made our way to Advent.

How I love the quiet of this reflective season, a practice that–admittedly–stands in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the holiday season.

I love the watching.

I love the waiting.

I also love the Advent series coming to my inbox from Downtown Church. “Written, spoken and illustrated,” each is a prayer of reflection on scripture for the day. And those words are accompanied by a sweet illustration by my very most favorite, Maria Fabrizio (of the wonderful Wordless News).

Thank you, Downtown Church.
