Advent III ~

"So, Advent is not waiting on tiptoe for Santa Claus to appear.
 It is gradually allowing ourselves to remember
 what unfathomable hope there emerges
 in God’s identifying with the human realm
 so fully that it embraces and reverses
 even the loss of hope."
Laurence Freeman

"You keep us waiting.
 You, the God of all time, want us to wait.
 For the right time in which to discover
 Who we are, where we are to go,
 Who will be be with us,
 and what we must do.
 So thank you ...
 for the waiting time."
John Bell

Wait on the LORD:
 be of good courage,
 and he shall strengthen your heart:
 wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalm 27:14
