Advent. The four weeks prior to Christmas, now once again drawing to an end, but leading to a new beginning. A season when we anxiously await, anticipate something bright and beautiful. Something bigger than ourselves. The birth of our Lord and Savior. We plan and prepare with daily prayer for our hearts to be renewed , restored, reborn. We decorate our homes with lights and trim a tree and wrap packages for friends and family all in celebration of the one who is to come: "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Lord of Lords, King of Kings. Immanuel." Christmas morn we can envision and almost hear the choir of Angels singing, " Gloria, gloria in Excelsis Deo". Filled with awe, we humble ourselves by bending a knee and bow our head to praise God , giving Him thanks for His gift of perfect love.
