waiting. anticipating. 'tis the season.

Last year, I began to learn what the advent season is really about.
Today I read over my post from the onset of last year's advent season to remind myself of this beautiful gift we anticipate in the weeks approaching Christmas.

God Himself came to earth.  He really came.
He came and was near to us.  He came to experience brokenness.  To make whole.
He came for us, to reconcile us to Himself.


Let us remember why this season is even a season at all.
Celebrate.
Enjoy.

Gordon Conwell puts out an advent devotional every year and sends it daily via e-mail.  It is a convenient reminder every day of what this season is about.  This year, unfortunately, they did not put out a new one, but have last year's accessible online.  Check it out here.
