There's a lady with a life full of hope - elderly and yet still looking forward with anticipation! Can you imagine her joy when it was confirmed to get that the baby she saw in his mothers arms was the prophesied Messiah?
Advent is all about waiting, patiently anticipating.
Waiting...
Anticipating...
Waiting...
Anticipating...
For Anna this took more than eighty years.
Catherine, my wife, doesn't like to queue, she is not blessed with patience, neither is she a great anticipator - yet she is full of faith and hope. I have learned from her to wait and anticipate things that are worth waiting for, the things not of this earth but the things of faith. She knows through discernment when it is time to see God at work and this she does actively.
This is where Anna comes in - she 'waited actively'. Watching all the time.
My #adventwonder today, inspired by two women of faith one ancient and one modern, one old and one young, is to wait actively on The Lord and to dwell in his house forever.
