Advent

It is only four days until Christmas. I have a settled feeling about this year. I am grateful for the blessings of the Lord on our lives, despite the adverse situations we have encountered. Family, friends and the promise of hope in our future keep me going. My mind repeats "People, get ready, Jesus is coming..." and I am in anticipation of that. The Lord is good. He is faithful, even when we cannot see what is before us. Many things have tried to sabotage that in my mind, but I press on, waiting for the Lord to come. Christmas. A blessed time, a lonely time, a time of reflection. Thank you, Lord for coming. We need you. I need you. I look forward to that day.
