Advent Joy

Karen and Anne explore our theme for the second week of Advent: PEACE! We talk about how to find peace in the storms of life (hint: phone a friend!). Our days are very full, but we can still take a little faith break with a warm beverage of choice. Anxiety and uncertainty are everywhere. Our families are not Christmas card perfect, even on our best days. Let God’s peace protect your heart in this crazy season. Find your grounding, your safety, and your rest in God. Holy napping is a thing! Scripture references:

• Philippians 4:6-7
  • “Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
• Psalm 4:8
  • “In peace will I lie down and fall asleep, for you alone, Lord, make me secure.”
• Colossians 3:15
  • “Let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful.”
• Isaiah 54:10
  • “Though the mountains fall away and the hills be shaken, my love shall never fall away from you nor my covenant of peace be shaken, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.”
