First Monday of Advent 2016

Shadow creeps over the mountains as light fades
A New Beginning


"For over all, the Lord's glory will be shelter and protection: shade from the parching heat of day, refuge and cover from storm and rain."~ Isaiah 4:6

The start of Advent, coming as it does in the darkest part of the year, would seem an odd time to think of a new beginning.
At least, for non-Christians. 
Yet, it is the time when hope is brought forth from the darkness to shine brightly in our lives as we prepare for our Lord's coming.
The Lord promises us protection, from the natural elements that threaten us, as well as from evil that stalks around us, seeking our ruin.
How Blessed we are, to have the protection of the Lord of the universe as we journey ever closer to Him, waiting and watchful for the birth of our Savior in the deepest cold of winter's night.
