Come Back Soon

December 24, 2012 by S. D. Smith 1 Comment

Have a wonderful Christmas! We’re taking the holiday off here at Story Warren and will be back after all 12 days are done. For this last day of Advent, a thought from our friend, Thomas McKenzie…

“The story we tell every Advent, like the story we tell every Sunday, is an old one. It is familiar like a children’s tune, like the moon. But it must be told again. We share the story of Advent every year at this time. We share it with the older generations as well as our children and grandchildren. We share it to remember whom we are waiting for. We share it to remind one another to wait with hope. We share it because it is worth sharing, worth repeating, worth telling. As familiar as the story is, it is still true. And one day, one of these Advents will be the last one.”

Thomas McKenzie, from Familiar as the Moon
