Day 27: The Stars of Advent

Let the Star of Hope blaze through discouragement,
doubt, and disgruntledness.

Let the Star of Kindness radiate through
what you think, feel, and do today.

Let the Star of Remembrance glitter in thoughts
of good people and good deeds.

Let the Star of Laughter sparkle in your eyes
and in your smile.

Let the Star of Joy dance in the corners
of your heart that have forgotten to sing.

Let the Star of Patience permeate
that which you find difficult and irritating.

Today: The stars of Advent shine through me.
