MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas dear friends and readers!  It's been a haul this Advent, and though I haven't kept up daily in the most literal sense of the word, thanks for hanging in as I reached my goal of publishing at least 24 posts this year.  It's been so great to get writing again and get centered.  Truly, finishing this post tonight is the best gift of all so thank you to everyone who continues to journey with me in this life of family, writing, questions, hope, love, faith and joy.  A Christmas cocktail of all that's good to last the ages!

Here's a shot from our house today, and another excerpt from The Glorious Impossible which I referenced in my post yesterday.  I hope you all are safe, resting, and having a merry day in just the way you want this year.


Holding the child in her arms, rocking, singing, Mary wondered what was going to happen to him, this sweet innocent creature who had been conceived by the incredible love of God and who had been born as all human babies are born.

God, come to be one of us...

...The wonder of the Incarnation can only be accepted with awe.  Jesus was wholly human, and Jesus was wholly divine. This is something that has baffled philosophers and theologians for two thousand years  Like love, it cannot be explained, it can only be rejoiced in.
