Advent

Now that thanksgiving is over, we start the season of advent.

Here is an advent poem.

Advent

I am coming
How will you respond?
Christmas is coming.
How will you respond?

Do you hear John?
His repentance call.
Do you fear?
My return.

Prepare to hear
Me this Christmas.
Prepare to open
yourself to Me.

Remove the obstructions.
Smooth the path.
Make ready,
Hear Me today.

Take time to reflect,
To hear My demand.
To know why I came,
My purpose on Earth.

Why did/do I come.
See My death,
& Resurrection.
At this natal time.

Find Me in your valleys,
not just the peaks.
Bring your justice.
Bring your peace.
