Whenever we think our lives are in despair, feeling lost and abandoned, it can become our reality. But the reality is that we have likely fallen asleep and away from God's love.

The danger we face is when we enter chapters of darkness, our it takes time for our eyes to adjust. Let Advent be that reminder and awakening that we are the light of the world - through and because of Him. Be alert. Keep awake. God is with us.
