Advent day 1 (2020)

 













People of God: awake!

The day is coming soon

when you shall see God face to face.

Remember the ways and the works of God.

God calls you out of darkness

to walk in the light of his coming.

You are God’s children.

Lord, make us one as we walk with Christ

today and for ever.

Amen.

 

Awake! When I open my eyes each morning, the first thing I see is a card on my bedside cabinet, a Banksy artwork: I’m out of bed and dressed—what more do you want? The card was given to me by my daughter last year, as she left home for university, and inside she wrote her heartfelt thanks for all the times I had been there for her over the years.

I’m generally the first person in our household to get up in the mornings, but I will confess that I have found getting out of bed and dressed a hard thing to do over this second national coronavirus lockdown.

What enables you to awake and face the day?
