Season of Promise: Seasons of Grace, #2
()
About this ebook
Life is full of promises—those we have made and those made to us. Considering how often promises influence our lives, it is surprising how little we reflect on them.
The liturgical season of Christmas provides rich opportunities to reflect on the promises of God’s love. In this book, Patricia M. Robertson blends seasonal vignettes and Scripture passages to help you discover new perspectives and inspiration during the weeks that follow Christmas—or any time of the year when your life is focused on a promise, whether kept, broken, or yet to be fulfilled. The meditations reflect the feasts and themes of the Christmas season, yet they are appropriate whenever you need spiritual nourishment, encouragement, or consolation.
Read the meditations all at once or day by day. Each meditation can be a self-contained moment of encouragement or a springboard to a longer period of prayer and reflection.
Season of Promise is great for those times when you need a fresh dose of God’s promise of love.

Season of Promise
Introduction
––––––––
Our lives are full of promises–those we have made and those made to us; those we have kept and those we have yet to fulfill; promises we make to ourselves and keep quietly within our hearts, waiting for the best time to speak or act.
Consider how promises influence our lives. Our perception of life is so often colored by the promises made to us by others–promises kept, promises broken, promises that came in ways we did not anticipate. Much of our emotional health stems from the way we react to or cope with promises: delighting and trusting that others will keep their promises; letting go, forgiving, or holding grudges when broken promises dash our hopes; being faithful or careless about the promises we make to others.
The liturgical season of Christmas provides rich opportunities to reflect on promises. Promises surround us for those with eyes to see–some fulfilled, some still unfolding, others yet to come. Certainly the greatest promises of all are those that God gives us. And how delightfully God surprises us with the timing and the way God keeps those promises! Divine God born in a stable? Infant born of a virgin, yet divine? Kingly infant, bereft of trumpets, of purple silks adorning his cradle? When
