Advent often gets forgotten in the rush to Christmas. In fact, in a gathering of priests, only one thought to name it as his favorite season. I want to share with you the secret to enjoying Advent. You have to think of it like a walking pilgrimage. Instead of a big "aha" moment at the end, you learn to enjoy taking a step each day. And the secret is to start looking for Jesus. Each day take a journal and answer this simple question: "Where did I see Jesus today?" Do this and you'll find that Christmas takes on a whole new meaning.
