This morning at St. Columba's we were looking at the importance of preparation. We do go to great lengths to prepare things
... Cleaning
... on holidays we prepare passports, guidebooks suncream
... in our cooking we prepare food by recipe books
... when cycling we make sure we have helmets and hi vis jackets
The question which I posed to myself and the congregation this morning is how are we going to use this season of advent to prepare ourselves for christmas.
beyond the tinsel and food how are we going to prepare for this season?
The Gospel reading reminded us that Jesus has said that he is returning ... are we preparing our hearts and minds for him?
We do all the prep for everything else ... how are we preparing for him?
Over the course of Advent I hope to be able to think about the readings of the day (beginning tomorrow) and put a few thoughts up here on my Blog as I get to grips with God's word in this season of preparation and waiting for Christmas.
