This advent we have been using the material put together by a group of Church of Scotland folks under the title ‘Spill the beans’ – it has introduced us through our worship to preparing and waiting for Jesus – the Light the world has never put out.

Waiting can be difficult – and we wait in all different sorts of situations – good and bad. Waiting for Christmas, waiting in a relatives room at the hospital – good and difficult.

Our Advent time of waiting is almost over – is just six more sleeps we will welcome the baby Jesus once again. This is an exciting time of waiting and if you are anything like me as the week progresses you will be getting ever so impatient. 

But it is so worth the wait – Jesus is so worth the wait. And I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing this time of waiting with all those who have come to our services or been at an assembly.

Enjoy the next few days – get ready to celebrate!
