It's
the second Sunday of Advent, and normally our house would be completely
decorated for Christmas by now, but things are moving ahead much more
slowly than usual this year. It's okay, though. We will keep doing
what we can when we can, and all those decorations that mean so much to
us, that brighten our nights and bring joy to our days will no doubt be
in place soon.
Our adorning process will still lead up to the high point in our traditions: decorating the tree as a family while carols play in the background.
The situation reminds me of how God's plans unfold over time, how "when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son" (from Galatians 4:4). It took thousands of years for that fullness to finally arrive. Just so, Christmas is destined to arrive, in its good time, at our home.
May God bless you, dear reader.
