For many of you tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day (not in England, although I'm certain my friends there are very thankful people).
I am excited about the beginning of Advent on this Sunday.
Advent is my favorite time of the year. I have loved taking time each year to read, reflect, pray and "adore" Jesus' Incarnation.
Several years ago I wrote an Advent Devotional I entitled "AN ADVENT SOJOURN". Sojourning is simply spending a little time in a destination we visit...but we spend a little extra time in doing that. So this Advent Sojourn book was my attempt to take some 20 years of reflecting about Advent and put some of those thoughts down to read.
The book is an Electronic book, or Kindle book if you will. It's can be purchased at Amazon and read on any digital device - from a computer, Ipad, or even Mobile phone - which has Kindle as an app.
If you're interested in getting it before Advent begins, you can find it at: https://www.amazon.com/Advent-Sojourn-Elliott-Pollasch-ebook/dp/B00FN1130C/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1479916136&sr=1-1&keywords=Advent+Sojourn
The point of Advent is to slow down...take the Christmas time as a season, and not just a day.
Let the Advent of Jesus be something we can reflect upon, and learn from, even while we allow the Holy Spirit to help us "enter into" the story of the Incarnation.
I hope you can join in with me...either here on this blog page, or perhaps in reading the book, or reading something else that will help you take the time to enjoy this season of Advent.
Blessings to you,
Elliott
