The wait is almost over

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

Do you remember the days of waiting for your child to be born?  You made all the necessary preparations to welcome a precious loved one into your home.  The house was cleaned from top to bottom, gifts were pouring in from friends and family, and the air was ripe with excitement over the impending birth.  As you waited, the days stretched out longer and longer, and you just couldn't wait for that baby to arrive!  

My prayer for you and your family is that your home is filled with the same excitement this week as you prepare to celebrate the birth of our Lord, and that the anticipation is indeed focused on His arrival.  Not just His coming over 2000 years ago, but His eventual return!  

Many blessings to all of you at this holy time of year,
Lisa

"We expect too much at Christmas.  It's got to be magical.  It's got to go right.  Feasting.  Fun  The perfect present.  All that anticipation.  Take it easy.  Love's the thing.  The rest is tinsel."  -- Pam Brown
