Shauna Niequist Quotes

I Believe Deeply That God Does His Best Work In Our Lives During Times Of Great Heartbreak And Loss, And I Believe That Much Of That Rich Work Is Done By The Hands Of People Who Love Us, Who Dive Into The Wreckage With Us And Show Us Who God Is, Over And Over And Over. There Are Years When The Christmas Spirit Is Hard To Come By, And It's In Those Seasons When I'm So Thankful For Advent. Consider It A Less Flashy But Still Very Beautiful Way Of Being Present To This Season. Give Up For A While Your False And Failing Attempts At Merriment, And Thank God For Thin Places, And For Advent, For A Season That Understands Longing And Loneliness And Long Nights. Let Yourself Fall Open To Advent, To Anticipation, To The Belief That What Is Empty Will Be Filled, What Is Broken Will Be Repaired, And What Is Lost Can Always Be Found, No Matter How Many Times It's Been Lost.
