This Advent season, we are awaiting the birth of a very special baby.
No, not Jesus. My first grandchild. And I am as giddy as a child waiting for Christmas morning. I wonder many things... Boy or girl? Tall or short? Blond or brunette? Sporty, creative, intellectual, or all of the above? Honestly, it doesn’t matter, but I can’t wait to find out! I can’t wait to welcome and get to know this new little person, not yet arrived but already carrying a piece of my heart.
I sit with and savor this feeling, this heart connection, this joy. I want to hold onto it. Experience has shown me that life has its ups and downs. I will not always be happy or have everything I want. But this Christmas as we prepare to welcome Jesus into the world again, I pray for joy at the center of my relationship with Him. Joy in knowing, loving and serving. Joy that flows from a heart connection.
Wishing you joy this Christmas season and throughout the coming year,
