Advent - A season of waiting and hope

Advent: A time of waiting.....waiting....for the coming of the SON, Immanuel, God with us.
God's gift to us. Let us prepare our hearts for His coming. Let us think of how we can wait with joyful expectation and adoration to God's precious gift to us.

" O Emmanuel O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear.

Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel.

O Wisdom O Come, Thou Wisdom from on high, And order all things mightily To us the path of knowledge show And teach us in her ways to go.

O Lord and Ruler O Come, O Come, Thou Lord of might: Who to Thy tribes on Sinai's height In Ancient times did give the law In cloud, and majesty, and awe.

O Root of Jesse O Come, thou rod of Jesse's stem, From ev'ry foe deliver them That trust Thy mighty power to save, And give them victory o'er the grave.

O Key of David O Come, thou Key of David, come, And open wide our heav'nly home, Make safe the way that leads on high, That we no more have cause to sigh.

O Dawn of the East O Come, Thou Dayspring from on High And cheer us by Thy drawing nigh. Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadow put to flight.

O King of the Gentiles O Come, Desire of nations, bind In one the hearts of all mankind. Bid every strife and quarrel cease And fill the world with heaven's peace. "




I wonder what it will be like this CHRISTMAS to those who have not heard about the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s greatest gift to us. I am thinking of 3 Filipina missionaries who started Elpis School in Maesot, Thailand, laboring to share the goodness of God’s love and care to about 243 migrant Burmese children. These children are getting free education, free school supplies and free food! One of their projects is to open a coffee shop to help sustain their ministry and to teach the older children livelihood skills like weaving, baking, sewing and haircut training, t-shirt printing, and card making. As independent missionaries, they are fully trusting God to provide for their own needs and the needs of Burmese migrant children.

Let us remember those who are serving the poor and the underprivileged.
