Advent 8:

Oh friends, I’m feeling pretty knackered today, and my brain feels fuzzy around the edgy – too fuzzy to write a neatly thought out advent reflection today.

So I gratefully sing the love of Christ which calls me to rest,

“I heard the voice of Jesus say, come unto me and rest,
Lay down O weary one, your head upon my breast,
I came to Jesus as I was, so weary, weak and sad,
I found in Him my resting place and He has made me glad.”

He bids me the grace to cease my striving and simply be with Him, best loved, best cherished Friend, fully God and fully man.

Peace and rest to each of you all out there on road. Hope the lights are shining brightly for each of you.
