Wednesday mornings are precious to our team as we pray and share life. Recently, we were talking about how challenging it is to quiet our spirits and allow Christmas to permeate our busy worlds.
We’re pretty sure that all of you are just as busy as the four of us and you might be finding this internal preparation for celebration difficult as well.
Mulling this over as I drove home from the shops, the answer came in the words of one of my favorite hymns—an advent hymn, no less.
“Come, though long expected Jesus, born to set thy people free!
From our sins and fears release us, let us find our rest in thee.”
It’s an invitation, isn’t it? And an expectation.
Jesus, come. We long for you. We expect you. We rest in you.
As we move toward Christmas, we wish you blessings of His close company as you celebrate this season.
