DECEMBER 2022 Wait 4*word
word of the month: wait
Winter is wrapping all around nature and our perspective is reflective, hoping that we have learned in some ways how to handle the freezing temps. Even though we have a lot less light during the days, we can be thankful for the beautiful starry nights. Wait is just a four letter word for anticipation and oh how hopeful that can be, finding the little sparkle in the quiet moments is true harmony. Speaking of harmony sing along with your favorite Christmas carols or just listen to the beautiful harmony of groups like Pentatonix, the little drummer boy is my fave! Playing Silent Night is one of my traditions also.
Sending painted holiday cards is another great gift to give while waiting or anticipating Jesus’s day. These are this years:
Children always find it hard to wait through the month for Christmas yet as we get older and hopefully wiser, we wait with a lot more grace. I have some good ideas for the reluctant waiter so here goes: wait with good picture book stories, wait with songs,or wait with the warmth of memories and appreciation, wait by candlelight, wait with the Lord, trying to wait with unwavering or unshakable faith,(just imagining that is a full-time job), wait with a ball game in the snow, wait with skis on, wait by playing games or inventing new ones, our latest was charades of traditional Christmas carols or just sing them at home. Whatever way you wait ask Jesus to help and you will be amazed!
