This Sunday is the second Sunday of advent--love.

Hear this blessing by Kate Bowler for that specific day:


"God, we are waiting for love,

not the simple kind or the sweep-you-off-your-feet

kind,

but the absurd kind.


The kind wrapped in rags,

resting in a bucket of animal feed.

Love enough to save us all.


Blessed are we who look for Love

deeper, fuller, truer--than we have ever

known,

thank we could have ever hoped for.


Blessed are we who seek you,

the light that dawned so long ago

in that dark stable.

Love given.

Love received.


Receive this gift, dear one.

Love has come for you."


Love y'all. - Phae
