Joyful Expectation

At this time of year when we are filled

With joy and expectation,

We await the celebration

Of Jesus coming at His birth.

We find that we are also filled

With a sense of anticipation

And a joyful realization

That Christ again will return to earth!

In this Advent time of waiting

With our hearts and minds preparing

For a time of giving and sharing

And hearts overflowing with love,

We need to remember while waiting

To always be kind and caring,

Helping others with burdens they’re bearing,

As we await Christ’s return from above.
