Sunday Reflection: Advent
There it is. The 2020 Christmas Tree.
In a year where nothing feels right, at least we should be able to nail Advent. After all, it is about waiting for something to come, right? And that is what we are living though every day anyways.
But it isn't just generic waiting. Advent anticipates the coming of Christ, who would change everything. And right now what we are waiting for is just for things to be as they were before. It's very different.
But, of course, we can do both at the same time, right? We can both know that we will get back to seeing one another unmasked, going to movies, and sitting at dinner with people we love, laughing, and that there is deep within us a longing for something beyond even the joy of that.
Which means, I guess, that it is all uphill from here!
