There is a spiritual battle going on and its time to PREPARE! Once again we are called to remain awake and alert, to be ready for the coming of the Lord! ADVENT, a coming, what a powerful thought that should always be at the forefront of our minds.
As we prepare, we wait... we usually plant an amaryllis this time of year.
The bulb will grow taller and taller each day as we nuture it by watering and turning it towards the sun. It will finally open around Christmas blooming into a beautiful flower, trumpet- shaped, announcing the arrival of Jesus!
During the four weeks of Advent our wreath help tio remind us of the time we have, four weeks,to be concentrating and readying ourselves for charity and love to take over our hearts.
There are so many evil things to protect ourselves and our loved ones from these days especially when the bad things are now presented as good, and good is considered bad. PREPARE,PREPARE, make ready a people well disposed for the coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ!
