CHEW
Well here we are, 7 days into our Advent Open House ... I hope you're finding some thoughtful morsels to chew on, some encouraging words to savor in this season of sacred waiting and yearning.

To ponder ...
- How have you been responding to what Ruth Haley Barton calls the 'oughts and shoulds' that seem especially relentless this month?
- Do you find yourself 'performing on some level' rather than leaning into who you truly long to be?
- How are you doing with saying 'yes' without reluctance or compulsion to the requests that come your way {2 Corinthians 9:7}?
- Are you giving yourself permission to say a gracious 'no, thank you' to expectations or invitations that might not be the best use of your limited time and precious energy?

Linda, though I didn't leave any comments here while on vacation, I was nourished by your daily word for Advent shared here. As Trudy pointed out, you've given us much to chew on this season. Thank you!
