Waiting for an arrival
t won’t be long before that wild-haired
child dons the shepherd’s cloak, which
is two sizes too big, and forgets his lines,
while the little girl who always says the
darndest things at just right time storms
off the stage, leaving the camel and the cow
all by their lonesome. Though we know the
story by heart (and perhaps, some of us
have played the part of Mary or Joseph), it is
always refreshing to hear it retold by those
youngest among us. Their interpretations
often leave us laughing, smiling and remem-
bering the joy of the season.
But before we enter into that joyful season
when we will shout, “Joy to the world, the
Lord has come,” we must wait.
We must light candles to scatter the dark-
ness. We must prepare our corners of the world
for what “advent” literally means: “arrival.”
