Because of November, we start dwelling on the magnificent gift God was preparing to send into the world, even while knowing how it would end 33 years later.
Because in November, our calendars enter a certain time warp where the days blaze by, yet the hours stretch over blustery breezes and subtle snowfalls. Where our minds pause a few more times, our bodies enjoy the cushions of a couch, and our hands reach out to our loved ones in just a few more ways then they did in October.
This is the anticipation that accompanies me on this first gray and glorious day of November! What is yours?
'I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people'
I'd say all of this was accomplished now that it's January.
