Anticipation

As a child you wait
In grand anticipation
of Christmas morning
the gifts, family, food and fun.

Early morning wake up
Excitement fills the air
As we wait for the time
From being good all year.

Over 2000 years ago
The world waited in anticipation
For the birth of a Savior
A gift for all mankind

But that early morning
With no bed to be found
The Savior was born
With only animals and His parents around.

Today and each day He now waits
With anticipation for us
To accept Him as Lord
And submits to His way.

He wants us to find excitement 
In reading His Word
He wants us to see the value
In talking to Him.

He wants us to wake daily
with anticipation of our time
That we will spend with Him
and the gift that it brings.
