Remember the spirit of generosity that comes to us in Advent

Speaking about the spirit of generosity that comes with Advent as we prepare Christmas gifts for those to whom we want to show our love and appreciation, Bishop Hughes observes, “Our heart opens up, and our goal is to take care of somebody else, and something in that gives us something that we weren’t expecting – an incredible sense of love and peace and abundance and a knowledge that we are in the midst of God’s world doing what God wants us to do, that we are giving what God has to give, that we are giving God’s love, not just our own love, that it’s fueled by God in the first place.” (Time: 4:44.)
