For decades, I felt frustrated in the weeks prior to Christmas. The seasonal demands, especially with a big family, made it hard to focus upon Christ's birth.
In recent years, I have discovered meditative, quiet traditions that allow one to center upon Christ while awaiting His birth. One of those is the Christmas Anticipation Prayer.
After the phrase "hear my prayers and grant my desires," name your request. Let the One who came down to earth as a baby daily lift and encourage you, His child.
