Advent is a time of prayerful waiting and is a time for deep reflection and a time to gain in patience. Taking time to reflect on the true meaning of the season is important. It can be so hard for us to even take five minutes a day from our busy schedule to talk with God. We have to remember, however, that where we spend our time is where our heart is and take time to remember God who provides all of this for us and who is at the center of our lives whether it is working, family, friends or simply relaxing from a busy day.
