Christmas is a time of anticipation. Children anticipate that toy they have longed for. We anticipate a specific gift, sometimes just hoping it’s money and not a sweater. Then there are many of us who anticipate special moments around the table with family and friends. Anticipation is a part of what makes Christmas wonderful. The older word Advent focuses our anticipation on what Christmas originally was all about. Advent means “a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the coming of the Messiah.” That was the hope many were looking for before that first Christmas. Today, that hope is here and we can actually experience it. We don’t have to wait for it! Join us this Christmas season as we discover how we don’t have to wait for hope any longer, we can have a hope that touches our everyday life. Hope really is Here! We can live in that hope because it is here!
