advent musings

I will occasionally post some random thoughts that come to me this season, notably through my daily reading of scripture and the Rule of Benedict!

today, at midday prayer at church, the chimes played Make Me A Blessing, an old favourite hymn. It occurred to me that this is a time of year when we seek blessings for ourselves in the guise of blessing others with gifts. We want to feel good, to seem generous, to enjoy the season.... but I for one am often so frazzled I am more an irritation than a blessing! May you, and I, be a blessing for someone today.

I find random calls to friends far & wide all through the year instead of the "Christmas Letter" or cards has much more meaning to my friends far and wide.
