For me, the Christmas story is not as much about Jesus as it is Mary. She reminds me to say 'yes' to the possibility (the truth) that I am bearing something Holy within me. That despite how I have been shamed for who I am , despite even the things I have believed about myself, I am nurturing Love in my belly, bringing forth Light into this world. To walk this earth with such a precious secret , such as feeling of belovedness in my womb, that the deep joy of that knowing overflows. This is the gift for me.

Thank you for your post today! It is so timely and comforting for me. "He didn’t come to eliminate our pain but to participate in our pain." and "Joy found in being sorrowful together, rather than sorrow found in being joyful alone. Togetherness rather than painlessness." Those are the words I needed to remember this season. Thank you always for your insightful thoughts.
