A Christmas Experiment That Might Change Everything



'The intensity and strain that many of us bring to Christmas must suggest to some onlookers that, on the whole, Christians do not seem to have gotten the point of it.

Probably few of us have the faith or the nerve to tamper with the hallowed Christmas traditions on a large scale, or with our other holiday celebrations.

But a small experiment might prove interesting.






What if, instead of doing something, we were to be something special?

Be a womb.
Be a dwelling for God."




~Loretta Ross-Gotta in Watch For The Light: Readings For Advent And Christmas




Father God?
I repent of my anxious doing.
This Christmas I want to try the experiment:
To be a womb for You.

The Plan



In the experiences of a simple/crazy life,
farming Canadian dirt, raising
half a dozen exuberant kids,
stringing sheets out on the line....

I'm praying to slow and see
the sacred in the chaos,
the Cross in the clothespin,
the flame in the bush.

Just a bit of
listening, laundry, liturgy...
life.
