Waiting is never easy! Whether it is waiting for the birth of a child, or for the builders to finish that job in your house, or for those medical test results to come through, none of us finds it comfortable. Advent is a time of waiting too - waiting for God's promise to be fulfilled in the coming of Jesus. The entire community of the Jews had been waiting for so long that many had come to think it would never happen, but when the angels appeared to the shepherds out in the fields they were in no doubt that something very special was happening, so they went to see for themselves.
