REFLECTING ON OUR ADVENT PILGRIMAGE…

 

Rejoice!” Did you ever wait for someone to call? Did you ever wait to meet someone? Did you ever wait for Christmas or your birthday or a picnic? Did you ever wait for spring to come?

 

Hope is waiting for a good things to happen. We wait for babies to be born. We wait for people to love us as much as we love them. We wait for peace and joy and understanding.

 

Some people waited thousands of years for one man to come. Hope is waiting together for a good thing to happen. Sometimes it’s hard to wait. We get tired; we become discouraged or sad; sometimes we even cry. It seems that our winter will never end. Then, all of a sudden and — quickly, gently, from deep inside — we remember who we are and why we are, and we know that our spring will come again.

 

We remember that Jesus will come again. Hope is waiting together a long long time for a good thing to happen. We have waited together a long long time for Jesus to come. May we rejoice together for a good thing that is to happen, the birth of Jesus.

​

Amen
