WHILE there is great value in being present in the moments we have, moment by moment, there is also anticipation for what will be. Sometimes that’s with great excitement; other times, it is with trepidation. This season is a time of

WAITING,

WATCHING, and

WONDERING – for what?

WAITING for the coming of the celebration of the Resurrection Remembrance as the season of Lent is here and ongoing.

WATCHING the light gently fill the morning sky earlier than at the Winter Solstice, I am eager to have longer days when my energy seems to grow and last more minutes than before.

WONDERING what might fill this day or the next, or this year is more often with hope these days with the waiting and watching with others who have shared hope and exhibit this with gracious, holy Chesed. 

WHAT – this interrogative word must change as I ponder what this waiting, watching, and wondering is about.

WHO — It is Who.

WORDS cannot capture this Person, these Persons that hold the universe by breath, in broad, invisible hands with characteristics beyond description.

WHAT do you wait in this season?

WHO fills your soul, heart, strength, and mind with things here, now, and not yet?
