With only one week until Christmas, we don’t have much longer to wait for family, food, celebrations, presents.

But for many of us, Christmas Day or even the end of the year does not mean the end of our waiting.

Perhaps you’re waiting for God to answer some really big prayers.

Maybe you’re waiting for God to prove that he is in fact real.

Maybe you’re waiting to feel better or for a break.

You may be waiting for a job, or a spouse, or answers to questions.

Even if we’re not waiting for Christmas, we’re all waiting for something.

What should we do while we wait?

The story of Simeon answers that question.
