Advent Series: Waiting with Wonder

Advent is a season of waiting. It’s a time of anticipation, full of presence and meaning. It’s a time where we engage with our longing for a more just, loving, and peaceful world. It’s a time when we reflect on our own lives and our own personal need for more hope, peace, love, and joy. It’s a time where we imagine what could be.

And Advent is also a season of wonder. It’s a time of shortening days and darkness, where even the faintest embers of hope shine most brightly. It’s a time when we wonder how on earth everything will work out but dare to believe that anything is possible. It’s a time when we see the wonder that surrounds us as we give thanks for what’s most important to us and treasure the people most precious to us.

We are all waiting. Waiting on the world to change, waiting for the mystery of the Kingdom of God to come. This Advent we will wait with wonder. We’ll explore the wonder of the story of Jesus’ birth, celebrate the mystery of “God with Us” in all the uncertainly of life, and renew our hope in the wonder of a world where love wins the day!
