Trust, wait and serve, three very "Advent words, themes" that will help us make good use of these four weeks. As Mary and Joseph learned to trust during the months of Mary's pregnancy, the social pressures, the many unanswered questions, the daily routine of work and keeping their simple household together, and then the census with it's forced trip to Bethlehem, we too who face similar challenges must grow in trust. God's plan unfolded gradually as they waited, and we who have not all the answers need to wait in trust, while continuing to serve others as best we can, even if in what we might consider little insignificant ways. In the loving eyes of God, nothing is insignificant. During these weeks we might become more aware that meeting God in the silence of waiting and trusting is the most important outcome of Advent. Let us embrace this time with trust, patient waiting and loving service.
