My first-grade teacher many years ago gave us this poem:
Advent is a time to wait,
Not quite time to celebrate.
Waiting is so hard to do,
Jesus friend, we wait for you.
When the waiting time is through,
It's Christmas joy for me and you.
Easier said than done, as the world around us screams, "It's Christmas!" as soon as the pumpkin pie is eaten at Thanksgiving.
Perhaps this children's poem can serve as a reminder, as our world hurries about, that waiting, pondering and practicing patience might be the best birthday gift we could give to Jesus at Christmas.
