This week we contemplate Love
MESSAGE – Stars Remind Us
You are small in the universe, and yet infinitely precious.
Our Advent Booklet reminds us today that this Christmas season, we celebrate the transforming power of love.
Remember that ,wherever you are, wherever you go, you carry the radiant
gift of love. May the spirit of love fill your heart and home this season and always.
As we focus on love today, Rev. Suzanne Carter invites us to center our attention in our heart. ‘Take a breath into your heart space and bring to
mind someone you love.
QUOTES
Our first and last love is self-love. Christian Nestell Bovee
ACTIVITY
Star Gazing – Go outside (or look from a window) and sit under the night sky for 5–10 minutes.
Reflect:How does seeing myself within the larger universe change my sense of perspective?
Move your body – Engage in some form of physical activity that you enjoy. Then, for 5 minutes sit in the silence and reflect. Do some journaling if you like. Listen to the meditation/song (above) at least once.
On this day of Advent …
Love shining from my heart illumines my path,
and I know what to do.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE
Personally, I find that it is important to have a focus or an intention behind any endeavour.
Spending time with the intention to care for my mental health and spiritual well-being is always an effort. At the same time it can be fun! Reading short, warm, and enlightening messages and affirmations, doing a short task or listening to a piece of music take only a few minutes a day but it makes a gigantic difference in my life. During these few minutes a day, I peek out of the darkness, the world full of woe, into the Light: into the Peace, Joy, Love and Warmth of the Divine Presence.
I am going to walk this Christmas journey contemplating on the Divine Light and enjoying the sense of Peace, Joy and Love that it comes with.
