Advent Day 4- St. Nick and Looking Forward

"This season of Advent means there is something on the horizon, the likes of which we have never seen before." -Jan L. Richardson, artist and spiritual writer



What do I look forward to at Christmas time?  I look forward to cold nights not a cold in my chest.  I l look forward to watching Christmas movies not watching myself cough up a lung.  I look forward to seeing the decorations and lights not seeing snot dripping down my nose in a blurry haze because I haven't slept for more than 3 hours at a time.  I look forward to listening to the hymns and The Messiah not listening to my whole family hacking.  So far I haven't been able to have much Christmas cheer, but with prayers and waiting and rest I believe and have faith it will come.  God gives us just what we need and apparently I needed a lot of sitting on the couch.  

Happy Birthday to my St. Nick baby girl.
