Advent for humans
At The Well This Week
It’s one of those years when Advent comes right on the tail of Thanksgiving, so we’re preparing for the beginning of Advent this Sunday. Ann Boyd invites us to embrace our human-ness as we prepare to celebrate the incarnation of Jesus.
“The truth is: I resist facing my own human limitations because in my deepest self, I think I have pretty great ideas. I have this fantasy of a superpower in which I can stop time for everyone else — just like pressing a pause button — while I continue checking off tasks, pursuing goals, or even just getting a solid eight hours of sleep.”
Be on the lookout for a special Advent series from The Well starting next Monday. We’ve created a set of five guided reflections to help you look back, look ahead, stay present, let go, and embrace the new year. You’ll find the same content in print form and in podcast form, and they will all be released next week, so you can work your way through in the way you choose.
Blessings to you during this Thanksgiving weekend. We’re so glad you’re here with us!
