If you've been around here long, you know I tend to be somewhat... unconventional... in my Advent musings.
This year turned out to be no different. The refrain that I heard repeated in my spirit when I considered Advent was ...I have seen, I have heard, I am concerned, I have come.
Of course, this is from Moses' encounter with God in Exodus chapter 3:
The LORD said, 'I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt, I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them...' Ex. 3: 7 - 8a, NIV84
That is a nice little four part statement, worth exploring for the four Fridays of Advent.
Dec 1 - I have seen
Dec 8 - I have heard
Dec 15 - I am concerned
Dec 22 - I have come
Dunno how deep or how profound this will end up, but then, that's the fun of it.
