It’s been really cool during Advent this year for Maggie and I to be longing for our baby to be born. I’ve been particularly amazed with how Jesus came to earth in such a normal way. He grew inside Mary’s womb from a single cell. He gradually took the shape of a human and grew arms and legs, fingernails and lungs, just like our baby is growing right now! From the very beginning, Jesus humbled himself to share in the common (but miraculous) experience of humanity. Maggie and I can’t wait to meet our baby! We want to hold and smell and kiss that child so badly. That’s the kind of waiting Advent is all about. Try to remember that we aren’t just waiting for Jesus to appear, we’re waiting while he develops in the womb to be birthed into the world. The Savior is almost here!
God Bless and Merry Christmas!
