"Advent" means "coming" of course, and the promise of Advent is that what is coming is an unimaginable invasion. . . An invasion of holiness. That is what Advent is about.
~ Frederick Buechner
So it comes around again. The time of waiting. Of promise. Of hope. Of anticipation.
But an invasion? Of holiness?
OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .an unimaginable invasion.
Stops me in my tracks. This event does not depend on my waiting. I mean I don’t have to extend an invitation. Advent happens. Holiness happens. God happens.
OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .God invades the world. My world. Your world.
God sends holiness in the form of a baby. Holiness that says, “Yes I am real. I do love you. You are mine.” An invasion of holiness.
OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .Advent
Expectancy . . .for the invasion of holiness.
