Your generosity over Thanksgiving was truly outstanding. Thank you!!  Now consider reflecting on your Advent days...Father Paul also has urged us to do this several times....here is another persons take...  “During this Advent Season, ...tend to (your) heart. Which means that there is a place (you) choose to visit from time to time; ....... You know, that place where the heart finally slows, where gratitude spills, ........where we are not afraid or adversarial, where we do not need to shy away from sorrow or disappointment, where grace is alive.” (Terry Hershey, “Sabbath Moment” 27 NOV 2017)
