Waiting is not easy. Many children are starting to get impatient and excited about Christmas being only a week away. We can find ourselves waiting in traffic these days, or waiting in some line or in some office. Waiting is not easy.
Some people seem to handle waiting a little better than others.
Some seem to be more patient and less agitated when forced to wait. Today in this final weekend of Advent, our attention is drawn to Mary. We hear the beautiful account of the annunciation. Mary is assured by the angel that great things are in store for this child. He will be great, will be called the Son of the Most High.
