Life is a Great Paradox. While we stand at the grave and weep, while we strain to grow as we walk through this desolation, while we ache as day follows day of funerals....

We laugh (at exceedingly silly things).

We glow in the unexpected.

Beloved in Christ, in this season of Advent, let it be our care and delight to prepare ourselves to hear again the message of the angels, and in heart and mind, to go even unto Bethlehem, to see the babe lying in the manger.
Care. Delight. Yes.
