A beginning is always a crucial time - how we start often defines the outcome of a project or task, as well as our attitude as we work. We are reminded today to be vigilant: constantly prepared; swift to act; and disciplined in our effort. May the start of our Advent season prepare us for a glorious Christmas!

May we turn to the Lord in our moments of sorrow and allow his grace to guide us. Sorrow is not the end, and with God's help we will face our tears with hope.

It's all about blessings. God lavishes graces and blessings upon us...let's take time to acknowledge them. And then out of gratitude...let's consider how we might be a blessing to others.
