ex-pect-ant [ik-spek-tuhnt]

The advent season brings with it the anticipation of many things including...

Time with Mama.

Daddy.

Megan.

George.

(Cricket).

Unstructured daaaays off of work.

Pj-clad days, fireside nights.

Coffee dates with long-lost ones.
Lingering at the dinner table.

Couch-cuddling, holiday film-viewing.

Ravenous reading.

While I am jumping out of my skin with the excitement for all of the above, I'd be way off-base not to immerse myself in the expectation of my Coming King. May the coming days be soaked in thoughts of His arrival... Let's, too, proceed as with the bated-breath, Mary-like enthusiasm of a mother waiting for her precious one to join her in the world.

Look! The LORD is coming from his dwelling place; he comes down and treads the high places of the earth. (Micah 1:3)
