Then there is this birth thing. I have to admit, it hit home for me. Our first child, a son, was born in January, so being 8 months along as I approached Christmas was poignant for me. I have always wondered if Jesus came a little early for Mary - if she thought she could get to Bethlehem and back with Joseph before the baby came. In other words, I wondered if she was as pregnant as I was, but the baby just came early. Who cares if you are premature when you are the Son of God?
So, bringing the creation wonder into the wonder of birth captured my attention, even in the mess. What brings the wonder of God home to all you Charlenes out there?
