The devotional this morning gave me some insight into Advent. I always thought was in preparation of Christmas, the birth of Christ. The devotional also mentions that the early church also celebrated Advent with an eye towards the return of Christ! I thought that was cool. We can prepare for the coming of Christ-- in his birth and his triumphant entry back to earth!
It is very easy to forgot about the coming of Christ. It has been thousands of years. When will he return? Known of us know, though some try to predict. We should all look towards the skies each day in anticipation even if it doesn't happen in our lifetime.
Lord, I want to celebrate your birth and look forward to your return.
Sunday Friend
I am writing about another work friend today. I am fortunate to have several in the workplace. I call this one the runnin' mama. hehehe She is an inspiration to me with her positive attitude, her hard-working approach to getting things done, and her genuine concern for her friends and family. We can talk about anything, including our relationships. She is married with two children. She runs for her exercise even though she doesn't always feel like it. I admire that, too. Her smile can light up a room. I am very thankful to have her in my life.
Other Stuff
I worked about 11 hours yesterday on my big project. I was exhausted when I got done working. I did a few quick things around the house, then went to bed. I feel better this morning. I need to do some more work today. We are WAY ahead of where we were last year for this upgrade. I need to keep focused. ;-) I also need to have some balance this week to reduce the stress.
I am heading to early church, then do my Bethlehem on Broadway shopping. I don't want to forget with my busy schedule this week. I would like to get some reading done today if at all possible. I am also singing at the Advent service tonight. I hope my song goes over well. I am doing something creative. hehehe
Hang in there, my friends! I will be upbeat and steady. That is what I do....
