“Come thou long expected Jesus, born to set thy people free,” as the Advent hymn goes. Oh yes, these weeks are full of anticipation of Christmas! Anticipation amps up as we fill our weeks with special musical events, Christmas plays, Christmas parties and additional tasks such as shopping, baking, wrapping gifts in preparation for the holiday. Finding time to prepare our hearts for Christ’s birth is an annual dilemma.
The season of Advent is about the hope of waiting. When you’re the caregiver to a child with a disability, your life is all about waiting. Waiting for the next doctor’s appointment, physical therapy session, counseling session . . . This is my story of waiting.
