Advent Week Three: 20/20 Vision for 2020

Old familiar carols sung

Sentimental ornaments carefully hung

Cookies baked 

Stockings in place

Enjoying it all

In a "slow hurried" pace.

So much of it familiar

So much is still the same

Yet with each growing year

our lives endure change

Kids grow older

Some move away

Gatherings need scheduled

Dynamics change.

The season seems different

With each passing year

Yet He whispers

"I'm the same"

I am forever.

I am near.

All of the rearranges

are just part of my story

And each one 

in His plan

and all for His glory

So I embrace the sentimental

And lean in to what's ahead

He is present 

and Everlasting

His mercies never end.

An epic Advent season

is in the making.

I'm seeing more clearly.

With anticipation,

I wait for what is to come

I couldn't be more excited!

A 20/20 vision

for 2020.
