It's easy sometimes to live in a bubble, going from moment to moment, task to task, obligation to obligation. I'm not always truly awake to what's going on around me- the joys, the needs, the presence of God. In this final week of advent can I try to be awake to the things I might otherwise miss?
Jesus calls us to live into the fullness of our humanity, to embrace what we, in our brokenness, experience as physical, psychic, or spiritual limitations. Jesus urges that, rather than seeking to be cured of our limitations, we ask God to heal us in them, and waken us to the spiritual gifts hidden in them.
