Advent Week 1: Hope - Friday

The Spirit is Breathing

Dom Helder Camara

The spirit is breathing.

All those with eyes to see,

women and men with ears for hearing

detect a coming dawn;

a reason to go on

They seem small, these signs of dawn,

Perhaps ridiculous.

All those with eyes to see,

women and men with ears for hearing

uncover in the night

a certain gleam of light;

they see the reason to go on.

Something to Think About

Robert A. Raines

God speaks to us in [God's] own special sign language - a baby. Not much... A baby. A baby is birth, beginning, potential without guarantee. A baby is helpless but not hopeless. A baby is someone to watch. A baby is the future appearing now. Are there baby-signs from God signaling hope to us watchers on the hillside?

What baby-signs of HOPE do you see that suggest God is at work?
