Today, we began the advent season during worship. The sermon focused on Christ being our hope in a world that often seems stagnant, lifeless, and dark. At the conclusion of the service, I lit the candle on the Advent wreath and said, "Christ is the Word made flesh; God dwelling among us, living, moving, and breathing." My son, who is not yet four, seeing the candle light up, in a loud whisper, said,"Wow!" In this sacred moment, a lady in her early eighties dabbed a tear from her left eye, someone coughed, and a father swelled up with pride. Perhaps...maybe...possibly...a little child shall lead them.May we keep our sense of childlike awe and wonder...as we see our Father continue to do amazing things.
