There is a time and place to worry, watching
the shepherd drop his staff as your child is
about to sing “O Little Town of Bethlehem,”
and there is time for the exchanging of gifts.
But there is also time — in fact, four weeks
of time — for us to mindfully contemplate
Christ’s birth taking place. Once we do, we
will sense immediately that Advent marks
something momentous: God’s coming into
our midst.
That, my friends, is reason enough for tears
of joy.
Merry Christmas; but first, may your Advent
be filled with contemplative holiness.
Peace,
Rev. Adam R. Quine, Pastor
First Presbyterian Church
