Advent blog – December 2

Glad you made it to day two. Take a deep breath, relax and as you spend a moment reading and thinking about the words of today’s blog. 

I have found that no one thing, place or event alone helps me connect to God. I slowly get to understand what He is like through building up a jigsaw. I see Him through the love and thoughts of friends, when I am gardening and admiring the complexities and interconnection of plants and insects, or it might be a thought from the Bible when I am being still and quiet.

Christmas is also a time when I see a particular side of God – a more human God, a God who came as a baby and then experienced all the joys and troubles that we face as we grow up. Baby Jesus became child Jesus, then teenage Jesus before becoming man Jesus. People got to know God mostly through His Son Jesus – someone they could see, talk to and interact with.

What people make your life better? Consider who has helped you see things more clearly, someone who has shown you love and help. Why not send an SMS, an email, a card or pick up the phone to tell someone in your friendship circle how much you love them and appreciate what they have done for you. If you did that everyday till Christmas – I wonder what would happen?
