Wide spread\u2026 wide open<\/p>\n
Sky gazing glow-fully<\/p>\n
Not just willing but eagerly<\/p>\n
Awaiting heaven\u2019s bounty<\/p>\n
The cloud skies respond<\/p>\n
Drizzle drops descend and stay<\/p>\n
Passing shower gracing<\/p>\n
Open heart embracing<\/p>\n
Magic moment a brief in time<\/p>\n
Announcing arrival, a sign<\/p>\n
The world awaits the holy one.<\/p>\n
He who is to come will come.<\/p>\n

More faith deepening and hope anticipating excitement as we roll along towards Christmas.<\/p>\n
Other college things carry on and I do what I can to keep myself usefully busy.<\/p>\n
Take care. Stay well.<\/p>\n
Advent love to all of you, Terry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
