Advent, a thought

When we’re sick, especially a long time, sometimes it becomes hard to anticipate anything with pleasure. Festivals and festivities all need too much work. Fun is stimulating which again drains the little resources left for the day to day. The ‘having come’ of Jesus I can truly celebrate with joy, the ‘is here’ of Jesus has been my constant consolation, and the ‘will come’ is a hope , not just for my weary bones, but for my heart to meet up with in full the one who has truly stuck by me in all this.

  1. Thanks Liz, what a great reminder that our future hope is built on the solid foundation of Jesus life on earth and the daily reality of relationship with him though the spirit - despite the situations we find ourselves in.

  2. Hi Liz
    I am sorry to hear that you also suffer from Fibro, but I can see that you have allowed our Pappa to draw you close into His love through all your suffering! That makes me sooo glad! Thank for visiting my post earlier, I appreciate it so much.
    Much love
    Mia
