Patience in the Last Days

"In a little while."

— John 16:16

Lord,

Only three more days. The waiting becomes almost unbearable. I want Christmas to already be here, for the waiting to end.

Give me patience for these last days. May I not rush, may I savor this waiting, may I fully live each moment.

Waiting is part of the joy. May I not skip steps, may I appreciate this time of final preparation.

Amen.

Reflection

How do you experience the waiting of these last days? With impatience or savoring it?

For patience in these last days of waiting.
