expectation and longing

Tuesday, December 22, 2015 (4:57 a.m.)
Holiest God,

Thank You. Thank You for all You are teaching us about this season of Advent. Hope. Love. Joy. Peace.

Blessed Father, I've known these words most of my life. But never it seems like I am learning them this year. From the mind of a four year old.

Hope – when you hope somebody feels better

Love – like loving Mommy and Daddy

Joy – when you're so happy that you cry

Peace – not fighting and being quiet

It is this simplicity that has grown bigger than ever for me this season. We are not here for the warm fuzzies of the greeting cards. We are in the battle of our lives. We live in a world marked by evil.

All those years ago You heard the cries of Your hurting people and You sent them a Savior who is Christ the King. Thank You for the true privilege of being loved by You.
