"Is Someone in Your Home Expecting a Child?"

We have had our Patiently Waiting sign up during Advent. When my mother was visiting us, a neighbor walking by asked, "is someone in your home expecting a child?"

This sign has created a curiosity as to what our family was waiting for these past 40 days. With the beginning of Christmas on December 25, we will be taking our sign down and replacing it with a sign that reads "Christ is Born". Indeed our family has been expecting a child but maybe not the child others were anticipating. Yet Christmas is about the Christ Child and these are our little efforts to bring Him back to the center of Christmas.

The story behind the Patiently Waiting Campaign:
A number of years ago, I was walking past a home and in the window a sign read: Patiently Waiting.  It caught my attention.  Each time I walked past it each day I looked at it and was grateful for it. To see the sign made me happy inside. I wondered who put such a sign in their window.  Later I would find out it was a wonderfully holy priest.  After his passing, many shared how special this little sign was to them. It was so simple but it sent a ripple out into the community, a joyful one that is still moving in my heart years later even after the soul who placed it in his window has passed on.  This made me wonder, what if each of us put a sign in our windows?  What would be the effect...these speckles of love sprinkled all over the world. It was from this thought that the Patiently Waiting Campaign was born.
