Yes, if we could be salt and light so that humanity could see that Jesus is the fulfillment of their longing.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852361286674074590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155475931056827263.post-59663717410153807712008-12-01T06:07:00.000-08:002008-12-01T06:07:00.000-08:00So many have longing hearts, they just don't know ...So many have longing hearts, they just don't know for what... or should I say Who!Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11380438322647982553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155475931056827263.post-24456618166567578622008-11-30T16:36:00.000-08:002008-11-30T16:36:00.000-08:00Great comments Nancy.

She's a young mom and wife and simply does not see her need. I agree with you on Israel, and how the Lord still longs "to gather them" under His wings. We began celebrating Advent about 5 years ago again in our own church, and it has really helped us to refocus during this time. Blessings to you Nancy.
