Waiting. During December we are waiting for Christmas Day. We are waiting for the coming or arrival of Jesus – that is the whole meaning of Advent, right?

All of creation waited for thousands of years for the coming of Jesus into this world the first time as a baby.

What do you find easy about waiting for something or someone?

What do you find difficult about waiting for something or someone?

“Waiting is a period of learning. The longer we wait, the more we hear about him for whom we are waiting.” —Henri Nouwen

Pray: Jesus, I want to know you more. Teach me more about who you are this Advent. Amen.
