Reminds me of Isaiah 25:9 - And it will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let’s rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
Well said, indeed. This was well timed as well as I was lamenting the lost passion I had for this season. As my kids have grown into young adults, my little world spins ever so faster. It's easy to lose touch with the things that ground us in Christ. This reflection will be the thing that holds my feet to the ground and my heart to Him. Merry Christmas.
I love this. I have to remind myself over and over of that weighty meaning of Hope in the Bible and in our lives and I love how it is expressed here. "Anticipation isn’t just the mind looking ahead; it’s the heart tightening and leaning forward." Love that!
