With Joy, I Prepare For The Rebirth Of The Christ Within.
Christmas Eve brings back memories of childhood anticipation. What’s in the packages under the tree? What other goodies will be there in the morning? Now I relish the anticipation of the joy my gifts will bring as I watch my loved ones opening their presents. This joy blooms in my heart as the Advent season draws to a close, and I prepare to receive my most precious gift—the rebirth of the Christ within. I still my mind and become present. I contemplate the awe of the shepherds as they heard of Jesus’ birth. I think of the veneration of the kings who traveled to honor him. I surrender to my feelings of awe and reverence, preparing for the joyous rebirth of light and love within me.
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.”—Luke 2:10
