"O Wisdom guiding creation with love, fill us with wonder. Love flowing from the wisdom of God is easily seen in our daily actions. I recall watching my 3-year-old niece set the table for her adored 5-year-old brother's birthday party: The plates, spoons, napkins and finally the centerpiece were in place. There was only one thing wrong: The birthday was three days away. I said to my sister, 'Do you want her playing with the table setting?' She said, 'Yes, anticipation is part of the fun.' So I learned the difference between waiting and anticipation, between standing in line and Advent."
