During the holidays, we rush.
During Advent, we stand still.
During the holidays, we do.
During Advent, we wait.
During the holidays, we give gifts.
During Advent, we give attention.
The holiday season with it's hustle and bustle, it's festive merriment and fa-la-la-la-la is upon us.
But so to is the season of Advent, where we wait again with baited breath for the celebration of the Christ-Child.
It is easy to get swept away in the holiday tide. It takes discipline to stop, to focus and to pay attention to the coming Christmastide.
This year, (BEGINNING SUNDAY) I am using this photo-a-day guide to focus my attention and center my thoughts on something beyond the immediate, pressing concerns of "the holiday season". This year I want to feast my eyes and my camera lens (ok, the camera function on my iPhone) on images that whisper or shout out this greatest of truths: "Immanuel! God is with us!"
I'll be posting to this blog, twitter and facebook and I encourage you to do the same!
