Today is the fourth and last Sunday of Advent. I’ve been writing a haiku poem each week – see waiting , peace, and joy here – and enjoying the challenge of expressing the truths of Advent in a compact 17 syllables.
This week’s theme is love.

“And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.”
1 John 4:14-17
Merry Christmas, dear and precious reader.
