Loved this post. I didn't find it to be snarky or gloomy at all! I think it is very authentic and makes me appreciate all that Mary went through to give birth to God, and we all know that she went through much, much more than what you have described here.
Riding on a donkey, how many miles, uncomfortable to say the least, birth in a manger, heart pierced with a sword prophecy, escaping with a baby to a far off country-all of it unimaginable, difficult, and very, very beautiful. She did it for us. She did it out of love. What would we do without that great example Mary left us when our own struggles seem too much to bear?
God bless you this Advent as your prepare to birth the Lord in your heart once more.

"We try. It's messy. We keep trying anyway."

We lit the first narrow candle, and sang the familiar words that Christians have sung since before Chaucer or maybe even Charlemagne, and read out the first antiphon of the Advent season: Proclaim the good news among the nations: Our God will come to save us. Do not imagine us suffused with a ho...
Wonderful story! I wait in hope for the chains of oppressive sin that bind my heart to be broken wide open. I wait in hope for His gentle forgiveness. I wait in hope for the joy I will feel on that day when I can finally let go, surrender my pain and accept His love.

Update: Congratulations to Shari for winning the God's Heart for You necklace. Earth's cold under finger nails. I dig holes with a wedge of steel and around fringes of the dome, clouds scud gray. Dad had called first thing in the morning: if I had anything to do outside, today looked like th...
