Three more sleeps until Christmas. Advent is almost at an end. Over the next couple of days preparations will be made, journeys will be undertaken and gifts will be wrapped. All will be made ready - let Christmas begin.
As we prepare, we join Mary and Joseph in anticipation of a new beginning. The birth of a child brings many changes. Life will never be the same again.
At Christmas there is a heightened sense of not just new beginnings but also of endings. We look back over the past year and remember. It is the season for joy but these last days of waiting can bring sorrow and anxiety.
We continue to watch, to wait and to wonder.
