Today’s Reflection: EARLY MORNING PRAYER
I come before you, O Lord.
As the sun rises may your hope rise in me.
As the birds sing may your love flow out of me.
As the light flows into the new day,
May your joy shine through me.
I come before you O Lord
And drink in this moment of peace,
That I may carry something of your hope, love and joy
Today in my heart. Amen. — Author unknown

Today’s Reflection: Lord Jesus,
Master of both the light and the darkness, send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas.
We who have so much to do and seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day,
We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us.
We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your kingdom.
We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence.
We are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light.
To you we say, “Come Lord Jesus!’
Amen. — Henri Nouwen.
