ADVENT -
A SEASON OF WAITING


By Josie Whitehead

Advent - A Season of Waiting

Advent - 

​

You season of darkness and of longing for light,

Lead us, who're in darkness, away from the night.

    We're waiting, we're watching, with hope in our heart

     As that new day that breaks will see darkness depart.

 

Advent –

​

You, season of hopefulness, trust and of cheer –
Move forward in time to the coming New Year.
      It’s a time when the old is replaced by the new;
      When the birth of a baby waved darkness adieu.

​

God –

​

Dispel, with your love, human hatred and fear
As we step all together into that New Year.

     Let us face any troubles that may cause us despair,
    With your love, born within us - a love we must share.

Note:  We seem to get through one season of darkness in our lives but, sadly, we move into another one sometimes.  This has happened to me this year, but there is also a season of light too.  It was the same in Jesus' lifetime for his family soon had to flee to Egypt as King Herod's men were told to kill all newborn baby boys as Herod was jealous of this little boy, having been told that a new king was born in Bethlehem.  I hope that, if you are in a season of darkness, you will soon step into the light.  Josie
