if i have to be thinking about christmas this early, why shouldn’t you…
don’t go in search of the baby this christmas
instead,
look for the love
which comes unexpectedly
and in the dirtiest places;
which is born
from the wombs
of those we would never expect.

I wonder if in the stable, Mary was thinking of the cross?
Anticipated, but unexpected
In a world where power, privilege, status & etc are held in high regard, once again we attempt to tell an ancient story in a way that will impact this strange time in history.
The message of humility, grace, service & self sacrifice have somehow never been more relevant.
goodness, and i nearly threw this one out…
What caught me in your verse, was a prompting that whilst I am currently ridiculously busy preparing our community carols by candlelight event, I had actually forgotten to meditate on the most important thing, i.e. why am I doing this! I was on auto pilot
stunning and just the thing for the soul today.
