In this week’s Little Oasis Advent meditation, children—and the adults who love them—are invited into a cozy, imagination-filled space to discover how joy can grow even while we are still waiting.

Long ago, God’s people were waiting for a promised Rescuer—Someone who would bring hope, help, and light into the world. They couldn’t see Him yet, but something wonderful was getting closer. In this gentle meditation, kids and caregivers alike are reminded that waiting doesn’t have to feel heavy. It can also feel hopeful, bright, and full of joy.

Through joyful movement, playful imagery, and a calming breath prayer, listeners of all ages are guided to notice “waiting joy”—the quiet happiness that settles in our hearts when we remember that God keeps His promises and is already at work.

This episode is perfect for:

• ​Children learning how to hold excitement and calm together
• ​Parents, caregivers, and teachers sharing quiet moments with kids
• ​Families creating a gentle Advent rhythm at home
• ​Bedtime, rest time, or slow mornings in December
• ​Adults who want a peaceful, faith-filled pause alongside children
• ​Anyone preparing their heart for the coming of Jesus

Curl up together, breathe deeply, and let this Little Oasis moment remind you—young and old—that joy is already here, even as we wait.
