On the 4th Sunday of Advent and as we get closer to Christmas, know that I celebrate the gift of Jesus and am thankful for the gifts and joys that I have in my life. Each and everyone one of you and your children touch my heart and my life in such meaningful ways. Thank you for the 'gift' of your child to my classroom and to our school. May we all be continued to be blessed by each other's love and learning!
4th Sunday Advent Prayer
Let us pray as Advent draws to a close, that Christ will truly come into our hearts.
Oh, God who loves me with such tenderness, I beg you for moments of quiet in this day and in the days ahead.
I long to savor this joy, this anticipation of the great gift you give us.
I ask for the peace and joy of "watchful hope."
Give me the grace to carry in my heart the soul-lifting awareness of Emmanuel - God With Us.
What joy, what a gift.
The Advent song comes to me and fills my heart:
"Emmanuel , Emmanuel.
Who are we that you should love us so well?"
I want to walk in gratitude in these last days of Advent and place myself in the service of your plan for me.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!
Amen.
