Earnest Expectation

My kids have a strategy so that the waiting won't seem so long.  They've made plans of things they can do so that time won't crawl.  They know it's just a matter of time, but it's still not easy.

The aching and longing of waiting.  The "earnest expectation."*

Waiting.

Our hope will be fulfilled.

Come, Lord Jesus, Come.

It will happen in a moment, 

in the blink of an eye,

when the last trumpet sounds...
