Following the resurrection of Jesus, His apostles had to wait for the gift of the Spirit that was promised them - 50 days before that wait was concluded. That is what we celebrate (and will celebrate) at Pentecost. As followers of Jesus today, we find ourselves waiting on God in a variety of ways - maybe as we journey through health issues or other trials in life. Sometimes, we wait to hear God's voice answering our prayers. Ultimately, we find ourselves waiting for the day when Jesus will return and set all things right. Over these three weeks, we will enter into this season of waiting that leads to Pentecost and focus on how waiting may not be easy, but with God, it is never wasted.
