Advent Day #2 – “WATCH”
Today’s reflection is a stark reminder to watch without first having to wait. So many times I watch for entertainment or to occupy myself while waiting. Watching to see God in the ordinary and to hear the grace notes that life’s music is playing is something that I would like to do more. There’s happiness, awe, wonder, and satisfaction all from mindfully watching the world around me.
O God, your unfailing providence sustains the world we live in and the life we live: Watch over those, both night and day, who work while others sleep, and grant that we may never forget that our common life depends upon each other’s toil; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
