Hope and Faith

I walk by faith and live each day with hope in my heart.

As Advent begins, I centered myself in hope and feel my faith grow strong.

I marvel at Mary's faith as I think about the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of her journey to Bethlehem to have her child.

She must have felt frightened to hear what the angel had told her, but faith allowed her to take each step with peace. Like Mary, I may wonder why I am facing certain events, and like Mary, I live in faith.

When I have doubt or uncertainty, no matter what is going on in my life, my faith in the power of spiritual living gives me renewed hope that God is with me. I am reassured that along every journey, no matter how long, the highest good is unfolding.

For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him-Psalm 62:5

Anticipation

Anticipation energizes me and increases my joy.

Looking forward to a special event is an energizing feeling. Tending to details and doing the preparation work focuses my attention on the love and care I feel for those whose company I will share.

Today I will pay attention to this feeling and savor it. Rather than rushing through my preparations and wishing the event could happen sooner, I slowly down and feel my excitement.

I feel grateful for this energizing and enlivening process.My awareness of my joy grows as my Anticipation increases. I am fully alive in each moment, focused and present. Joy is with me at every moment. I am undisturbed by disruptions in my plans, able to accommodate sudden shifts with equilibrium and calm. The joy of Anticipation is my delight.

You have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and wine abound. -Psalm 4:7
