🎄 #8 The Glorious Incarnation ~ Greedy Eyes

 “Waiting is an art that our impatient age has forgotten. It wants to break open the ripe fruit when it has hardly finished planting the shoot. But all too often the greedy eyes are only deceived; the fruit that seemed so precious is still green on the inside, and disrespected hands ungratefully toss aside what has so disappointed them.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, God Is in the Manger: Reflections on Advent and Christmas
