Of all the many blessings for which we give thanks, there are but three as Paul says, which will remain: faith, HOPE, and love. This Sunday marks the beginning of the Advent season—the time when we remember (re-member) the Lord’s first appearing and long for His second. Let us soften our hearts and have ears to hear the message  long foretold by the Prophet Isaiah, which still today speaks Hope, to a hopeless world.
