I myself will take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar… On the mountain height of Israel I will transplant it, and it will produce boughs and bear fruit and become a noble cedar. Ezekiel 17:22-24
LIFELONG LEARNING
At the corner of S. Limestone Street and Jefferies Street is a deodar cedar that reminds us that we should be growing in our faith throughout our lives. This kind of cedar is a Himalayan native, but it thrives here in the upstate, too. No doubt it was a tiny sapling once, but with faithful nurturing, it has become a mature tree. That’s what we want for Limestone’s members and friends, young and old.
We are waiting for Jesus’ return to earth. That is what the season of Advent calls us to do.
This Advent season, we practice waiting, slowing down. Our Advent calendar provides daily suggestions, reminders, and encouragement to spend this season waiting for the Lord, rather than being consumed by the frenzy of activity that is typical of this holiday season. Some days there is scripture to consider. On other days there are intentions to make. At least once each week we invite you to take time to breathe. We invite you to take a few moments to be still during this season of Advent as we wait for the Lord together.
