Stewardship: A Way of Life

Waiting is not always so easy. If you lack patience, like me, you probably

want whatever is going to happen to just happen already. I remember

waiting on the births of my children. There was the time I sat with my

dying father in the hospital. One year, we waited to see if our oldest child

got into the college of his choice, or any college at all, which was nerve-

wracking. So, to make the time pass more easily, and because it is prudent

and wise, we make preparations. We put together nurseries, go over last

will and testaments, and look through endless college mailings. Then, when

the event finally happens or our fate is unveiled, the preparation ends.

Either you have prepared well or you didn't. Unlike events in our lives that

only happen once, we have been through Advent many times before. Even

though this is the case, when Christmas arrives many of us will think we

missed it again, and next year will be the year we really get into Advent. Of

course, there is no promise of next year. What if you knew this was your

last Advent ever? I once read a book about how to live your life as if you

only had one year to live. The author said that doing this provides incentive

for a real commitment to living life to its fullest. You notice things for the

first time. You make plans that you always put off. You tell people what

you always wanted to say. I hope all who read this have many wonderful

years ahead of them. However, let's approach this Advent like it is our last.

I bet Christmas will seem that much sweeter. And who knows, we may

find a new and improved way to live all year long.-- Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS

LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR ADVENT

As we begin our Advent journey in preparation for the celebration of

Christ's birth and in anticipation of his coming again in glory, we are

reminded of our need to be vigilant and prepared. This short season of

Advent can be a mini-retreat for us who find ourselves living in a

world that is often counterproductive to developing mature, focused,

and meaningful relationships with God. Being a Christian and stand-

ing firm in our faith requires a strength that can only come from pray-

er. These four short preparatory weeks can help us look back to what

God has done in history, to what God continues to do in our lives to-

day, and to what God promises for the future. May we use this Advent

time wisely, calling us to greater holiness.
