Back from the road trip, and now it’s Advent.
A season of waiting for Jesus – when He’s already here. It’s an odd sort of waiting.
I’m working through Giving A Year Meaning by my friend Jon Swanson. He reminds us that Advent is more about preparing, slowing, remembering. For some, especially this year, it might be a time to recover.
I’m not good at “seasons.” I tend to drift from day to day, month to month, riding my bike and attending to whatever’s next on the FREEDOM TOUR agenda. Lots of screen time, more or less time outside, and the pages on the calendar flip.
Perhaps I need these four weeks, this intentional time set aside to prepare. Perhaps you do, too?
It’s odd, waiting for someone who’s already here. Might be just the break we need.
