Something is about to happen


Something is about to happen. What it is we cannot say. The details are hazy, but the outline is certain.  Something is about to happen.

The Long-Expected One will soon be here. Be on guard! Be alert! Something is about to happen.

Advent is a time of waiting for the yet-to-appear. Advent is a time of wanting the promised-yet-unfulfilled.  Advent is here. Something is about to happen.

Something always happens at times like these. It might be grand, it might be subtle. But something is about to happen.

God has entered the world once through Jesus. God each day enters the world anew through us. We are here, and so God is here. Something is about to happen.

Watch! It might happen suddenly. If you don’t watch, you may miss it. You don’t want to miss it. Something is about to happen.
