Is your heart longing for rest? Not only are we recovering from Thanksgiving, but our days are also filled with Christmas preparations. At the same time, we're struggling under the weight of division. 

Advent is the perfect season to celebrate in a contemplative rather than commercial way. A good time to recenter our hearts and minds on the reason for the season: Love. For a few minutes each day, we'll explore the familiar Nativity story through the lens of friendship. 

Join Katie Kibbe in the prayerful pause your heart needs.
