Wake up to the Good Things

With Christmas approaching we may watch our weight to enjoy the season’s goodies. While Advent may be a time to watch our weight, it’s a time to wait in watch, to watch for the many comings of the Lord. Advent, like an alarm clock, awakens us to all the good things we can do in this season. Are we awake? Be like the watchman who waits for the dawn. Be on the lookout for opportunities to share your faith, give your service, or have a few extra minutes to pray. In these ways and many others ways we can find the coming of the Lord throughout the day. Watch for God’s coming in your family, coworkers, Scripture, songs, newscasts, the excitement of children, and more.
