The Third Light of Advent is the Light of Animals 🕯️🐑 This week, we turn our hearts toward the animals. 🐾 Animals walk beside us without words. They teach us trust, presence, patience, and belonging. 🤍 They remind us how to listen with the whole body, how to rest, how to care, how to stay close to the earth. 🌱 In the quiet of winter, animals hold a steady warmth. ❄️ They show us how to live gently, how to move with instinct and kindness, how to be part of the great circle of life. 🐦 As we light the third candle, we give thanks for all creatures wild and tame, seen and unseen. 🐄🦌 For the wisdom they share simply by being. ✨ May this light awaken compassion in our hands, softness in our voices, and care in the way we walk upon the Earth. 🌍💗
