Anticipation, or more reasons to be thankful

This day is between the celebrations of Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I have fond memories of the one and even greater expectations of the other.  When I was a great deal younger, the anticipation was of the gifts and the meals and time with those we didn't see often.  Now the anticipation is of celebrating the Gift of eternal life, the Meal in Communion, and the eventual eternal reunion with those who have gone before.

I am thankful that Christmas is the beginning of Easter and Easter of the Ascension and the Ascension of the Return.

Just as Christ came in the fullness of time as a baby under the rule of others, so He will come in the fullness of time, revealed as Sovereign Ruler over all.

Even so, come!
