Advent

Here we are in another time of waiting. Waiting... waiting..... waiting.....

What are we waiting for? What are we looking forward to? 2006 is fas approaching and this will see many changes in our lives and our church. The arrival of our new leadership, the loss of Juniour (loss to us for a while but a big adventure into new beginnings for her).

Before the New Year, there is Christmas. What is that all about? Tinsell and chocolate and turkey and chocolate and baubles and did I mention the chocolate?

or

Friends and family and excitement and presents and love and joy and JESUS. Let's not forget Him or lose Him in the leftovers and the pretty paper.

Jesus is also waiting, waiting to break through into our lives in a whole new way. Not as a baby left to moulder in an ancient manger, forgotton and abandoned like the carcass of last years turkey. But as the Son of God, the Prince of Peace, Saviour and King. And as friend, brother, consoler.

Make room and let Him transform our waiting with His unending love.
