I have been on a journey this Advent.
Sometimes I have chosen the right path--
the one that led me upwards and closer to the Light.
But sometimes I have taken my focus off that goal and become lost.
~~~
Recently though,
I found my way back.
I found the way after I realized that I had, again,
been drawn away, by the allure of man-made things--
beautiful things, yes,
but things that ultimately failed to truly satisfy this deep thirsting of my soul and also
things that were quickly becoming obstacles in my Advent journey.
Now, I have learned that the beauty I was seeking this Season
is to be found only in Him and
that if I trust Him and keep my eyes on the reason for the Season,
that He will lead me
by His never-ending grace and mercy.
That He will show me more of the Living Water, if I take time to let Him,
and that when this Season of Advent is over,
I will find that my thirst has been quenched and my spirit blessed.
May you find blessings this Advent also.

Thanks so much for taking time to leave a comment! I LOVE hearing from visitors and your comments most always leave a BIG smile on my face and sometimes a little giggle too! I do moderate comments to ensure a family friendly blog and also to catch any spam so your comment won't post immediately unless I am online at that time. However, I do check for comments regularly. If you don't see your comment post within a day or two, it's most often due to it being a Sunday (when I limit my Internet use) or, at times, a computer issue. Again thanks and have a GREAT day:)
Blessings, Aimee
