We are invited to listen to the voice of God in the countless ways He speaks to us every day and recognise His love. The challenge of God is around every corner, at work, on the street, while we are at friends or at home in the routine of life. There is no day when He does not knock at the door of our hearts. One way we can let Him in is by availing of the opportunities to serve and be neighbourly in our community. We pass through this world but once and any good we have to do should be done now. While Advent is about waiting for God to come into our lives, it's good to remember that God has been waiting for us longer than we have been waiting for Him.
