Advent kind of snuck up on me this year. Probably wasn't looking because of getting ready for these trips. I just realized we are nearly a week into the season.
Part of my reading today was Psalm 22:31. It is appropriate that we read that psalm at the beginning of advent. That verse in particular reminded me of one of the major threads that runs through both the Old and New Testaments. Those of us who know Him are to share Him both with those who will come who do not know Him.
The truth of this season is the message that there is a way out of the morass we have created through our self-centeredness. The rescue has not only been launched, it is completed. All we have to do is inform those struggling how to tap in.
That is great news. It is the real thing about which we should be excited and it is the real present that we should be giving those we love. Not just these next few weeks but all 52.
