Todays reading is about visiting her cousin… the infabt jumping withjoy when he hears the greetings from Mary.. have we ever jumped that way when we pray or hear the word of the Lord !!

As I pondered in the time that I am typing this I realised I don’t even have patience to listen to my own thoughts while I am am always so restless

As we get through last week of advent let’s just realise we should be jumping with joy to listen to the Lord, I am His child chosen by him to be leading his word right from the womb till the tomb.

This advent and throughout the next year I want to pursue that joy of knowing Jesus and loving Him endlessly…

Amen

Merry Christmas.. I will be home. Finally.
