Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
Advent is the season of hope, and for the first time in several months, I feel hopeful about the new year. There will be a new administration, and there is the promise of a vaccine on the horizon. Even if those things are still a ways off, at least I can hope for them. It's been a while since I dared hope for anything beyond today. Beyond those two things, I have hope for a less divisive society. I hope my neck won't be twisted every few hours by reading the news of some insane or downright hateful tweet by the president. I hope we can return to ordinary interactions with each other, including touch. I hope to be able to worship together again, in person. I hope to return to a few regular volunteer activities in the community. I hope to have a polished memoir manuscript ready to market or publish on my own. These are a lot of hopes for a new year, so I think I'll back up a little and focus today on the hope of Advent: the coming of Jesus into our world. That's more than enough for today. --Janice
