God is preparing for a big move; he’s getting ready to make the earth his home.

A word is spoken over our lives today that will reverberate throughout the centuries into the future, all the way into distant eternity.

We all know that Christmas is “supposed” to be this time of joy and celebration, and yet it can often become more like a tornado or a drought that we have to survive.

God’s kingdom has come and is coming into all the corners of this earth, even now, today.

This is what the Church is supposed to look like: believers encouraging each other in our callings, listening to the Spirit for one another, being on the lookout for God’s work within each other.

Mary’s yes would resound throughout her entire life, leading her all the way to the cross, where she would witness her son live out the culmination of his yes to the Father.

We can live this life, with all of its uncertainties and sorrows, from the place of eternal hope.

Simeon is waiting for the hope of Israel, but he ends up meeting the hope of the world.
