This morning I was guided to try something new. Rather than wait for the advent gift of the day to come to me externally, I asked to receive it in my meditation. To my delight, I saw two elves open an old burlap sack. (almost as big as they were!) They pulled out a large ripe succulent strawberry--juicy red with golden seeds. I've always loved strawberries and Mom's delicious strawberry shortcake. I looked up the symbolism and was surprised the flowers and the berries symbolize spiritual purity and nobility of spirit.

My unusual gift turned out to be more in season than I knew. This is the time of year Mother Mary draws close to the Earth--the Queen of the Angels showers humanity with her grace, peace and unconditional love.
Enjoy your day with the Angels.
Love and joyful blessings,
