Friends, I just received this email from Dan Burke, and I wanted to share it with you, especially if you struggle with sadness or anxiety during the Advent/Christmas season:

Dear Kitty,

I’m not here to ask for anything today. I just want to offer you a gift.

And there’s nothing more I’d like to give you this Advent than the opportunity to wait for the Lord with serenity, peace, presence of mind…all the things you think are impossible right now.

You’re not alone in feeling stress, sadness, or anxiety with all that this season—as glorious and hopeful as it is—can stir up.

Add guilt for feeling that way, and you’ve got a host of crushing emotions stealing your joy and your ability to pray and watch.

But that’s not what the Lord wants for you. And there is a way to approach this time of year differently.

Yours in the Coming Messiah,

Dan Burke
