This Rooted Moment offers a gentle pause between Thanksgiving and Advent — an invitation to rest, breathe, and recognize God’s presence in the unfinished places of your life.
Flowing out of this week’s main episode on learning contentment in every season, today’s reflection centers on gratitude as the soil where peace, patience, and Advent readiness naturally grow.
A simple garden moment that reveals the beauty of “not yet ready”
How gratitude anchors us in contentment
A short guided reflection to settle your spirit
Gentle practices to help you enter Thanksgiving week intentionally
A soft invitation to prepare your heart for Advent
Philippians 4:11–12 — “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances…”
Garden Practice: Notice one thing still “in progress” outdoors and thank God for what’s becoming.
If your heart longs for a calm, Christ-centered Advent, join me for Advent in the Garden — a 25-day devotional journey of Scripture, gentle reflection, and simple, garden-inspired practices.
For encouragement and spiritual friendship throughout the season:
Contentment blooms right in the middle — long before anything feels finished.
