When the anticipation of expectancy overwhelmed your senses and caused you to think of nothing else as you looked forward to something or someone coming into your life? Maybe it was something you had long hoped for; maybe it was a person you loved so dear and hadn’t seen for many years. Well, that is what Advent is all about.
