Advent is the season of waiting and anticipating the celebration of God's perfect gift to us, and also of His second coming. There is an element of mystery and hope in this season.
In the busyness of the preparations we can often miss the importance of this time. We have an opportunity to get our hearts ready not just our homes.
We, Anneliese, Betty, Bev, Charlotte, Ellen, Judy, Julie, Kathy, Lovella, and Marg, wish for you a gift, an unexpected encounter with God. Just like the people in this video, sitting having lunch and suddenly they were touched by something unexpected and amazing. Isn't that what we all hope for, an unexpected encounter with God, especially in the midst of the busy holiday festivities.
May your lives be touched with the wonder and mystery of God's gift to us through his Son Jesus Christ.
(I wonder what is was really like for the Shepherd's to be in there fields and hear the Angels burst forth in song?)
Revelation 19:6 (New International Version)
6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
“Hallelujah!
For our Lord God Almighty reigns".
For our Lord God Almighty reigns".
