Take time
for the voi

The Rev, Dean Houghton
St. Matthew's Anglican Church
IT HAS already. started. Christmas muzak
incessantly: blaring. in. the. not-so-
‘background of retail’ outlets, Reminding,
enticing, evoking. For some, annoying.

It all ‘speaks ‘of the greatest retail push of
the year, A mid-winter festival of family
gathering; celebration, endings and begin-
nings. . ir
For some it is even a. religious festival,
Chiistmas, the’ Nativity of the Lord Jesus.
Yet all ‘of ‘he’ gift buying, pageant making, ©
partying, home pieparations-all of these ac-
tivities have taken.on such a life of their
own the reason’ for. the celebration seems
but an afierthought.

Even for those of non-Christian religious.
persuasion, the commercial’. dimetsion
would seem to swallow the faith inspired
centre of the occasion. Yet it is fitting that
the month proceeding Christmas Day is one
of preparation. —

For many. centuries: the church has
celebrated the season before Christmas as a,
time of ‘preparation, of waiting, A time of
waiting: for the coming of the Saviour of all
creation, - .

_Advent speaks of both coming and wailt-
ing. We remember that God has become
one of us in the person of Jesus of
Nazareth, We focus on this first advent and
what it has meant and continues to mean. It.
is also a time of focus upon the coming
again, the advent of out Lord, into out per-
sonal fives and also his advent at the end of
time,

~The season points to o the ‘already? and the
‘not yet? is which we live our lives of faith.
In short, advent highlights the fact that we
are always waiting for that which has come:

to listen
ce of God

View Point
and is to come.

Waiting is something most of us struggle
with. In a technological age we demand
solutions, products, answers and knowledge
and expect them to be instant. When we are
forced to wait we cover up the waiting by
‘doing something’.

OF course if there is to be:a celebration
we miust make certain preparations, But one
of the mast critical preparations is too often
set aside. Waiting is something to be expe-
rienced, to be savoured, to be listened to.

' One; may be waiting for Christmas,
birthday, a job, a marriage, healing, growth,

even death. In my rounds in the hospital |

one of the biggest issues I encounter facing
patients is waiting-waiting to know a dlag-
nosis, waiting for healing, Waiting to get
outorhome,- —~ -

‘In all of these situations we need to ac-
knowledge the waiting itself. These are

times for prayer that involve holy listening,

being still, looking for God, in the situation,

It is when we take time to listen for the
movement of God, who speaks often in and
through and with silence, that we come to
know the fullness of joy ‘when the waiting
is over,

Take time this coming Advent to wait, to
listen ‘for the wee small voice of God

~ speaking in the silence beneath all the noise
and activity around us, Then when the day

of celebrating God’s Incarnation, the birth
of Jesus; comes, you may truly celebrate,
Come Lord Jesus, come.
