Not for (Most) Kids
Today is the 4th week of Advent and the theme is Love.
Consider … a new baby – a new life – new beginnings for everyone. Think about all the changes that come with a new birth. Parents have to figure out what’s what. Siblings have to re-assess their place in the family. Grandparents … Everything changes once a child is born. It takes time to re-adjust no matter how happy we are with the new person in our care.
At Christmas, we celebrate Jesus coming into the world – God coming into the world. What difference did it make 2000+ years ago? What difference has it made in our lives? What difference do we want it to make?
