Advent: Week One – Hope

Need.
It grew like a weed, with uncompromising speed.

The seed was planted long ago. Long before any of us know.
Like the beginning of a show. But it was a show who’s channel was turned.

And then, like the flickering of dawn, light was breaking through.
Not that anybody knew what to do, and so God sent his Law into view.

But that only began the picture that was planned, the time and space His people spanned,
God had so much in store for man.

Something new was beginning, and it wasn’t so much about winning.
It was about reaching out to humanity and creation, at the end of their rope.
With the birth of New Hope.

“Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, saying, Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test. Then Isaiah said: ‘Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary mortals, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.”

Isaiah 7:10-14 (NRSV)

Outdoor Nativity Sets

I’ve been given the opportunity to share my thoughts/experiences on “Outdoor Nativity Sets” with you!!  Be sure and watch the video, that shows how easy the set-up is, even for the average Joe who doesn’t read the directions much at all for as OCD as he usually is.

It looks a little wobbly in the video, but rest assured, after attaching the brackets to the back of it, sliding the metal poles into both sides and into the ground….this thing isn’t going anywhere!!!

As much as I would really love a giant glowing plastic Santa, or a huge inflatable snowman to frighten children with and reduce the value of our neighborhood listings……I’m stuck with this.  A dignified, simple, elegant way to say “We’ve decorated our yard with Jesus.”

And really, who doesn’t wanna say that? 🙂 Check out OutdoorNativitySets.com for more info!!
