| OLR Chapel in Winter |
To those who are not used to it, life in the Pacific NW can get a bit gloomy in December, especially when it rains day after day. I think it is no coincidence that the Church chooses to celebrate the coming of the Light at this time when all things appear to be “dead”. It is in the silence that He chose to come to us- not in the garish summer’s heat. Advent reminds us to wait, to hope, just as we await the signs of spring after a cold, dark winter. It is the time of longing, of anticipation that we will be freed of the darkness in our lives.
