To have a healthy baby, or a loving relationship, or to work out a reconciliation or create a work of art, there's a lot of waiting. When we're waiting, it seems to take so long, but once the baby is born, once we've accomplished the reconciliation, when we look at the work of art, the waiting if forgotten. And the other theme of Advent is the contrast of light and darkness. We are waiting for the Light of the World. We light the Advent wreath each week as a sign of our expectancy and waiting.
Advent is about hoping, waiting, about believing and working to usher in that reign.
Advent is about being willing to do our best to share the light of Christ in our little corner of the world. This is the season when we are reminded that God is working through us to bring to birth the fulness of God's reign. In his name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
