The Waiting is almost over

The waiting is almost over. Christmas is about to dawn again, and we eagerly await the birth of Jesus.

What is the longest you have waited for something to happen? A few hours? Days? Weeks? Months or Years?

How about 84 years? Well, this is how long we believe that Anna waited for the coming of the Messiah. 

"Anna, a prophet, was also there in the Temple. She was the daughter of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher, and she was very old. Her husband died when they had been married only seven years. Then she lived as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the Temple but stayed there day and night, worshiping God with fasting and prayer. She came along just as Simeon was talking with Mary and Joseph, and she began praising God. She talked about the child to everyone who had been waiting expectantly for God to rescue Jerusalem." - Luke 2: 36-38

"During the night we must wait for the light." - Francis de Sales
