If we’re left feeling empty, then we’re who God has in mind in this passage from Isaiah the prophet:
You who have no money
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
Our destitution is our currency: we trade it in.
-- Daniel L
A beautiful Advent piece...continue here. May we find ways to give and receive without our money. For our money can't really buy what we want or what is needed. Let us give from the destitution of our waiting for God -- for from Him our empty is filled.
Among other things, I hope to try something along these lines with my family this Christmas -- what would I give if using money was off-limits? ...we shall see.
