Advent. Over-simplified, it means, "coming". Some people use this time leading up to December 25th to consider and contemplate a time in History when the world didn't know the name, Jesus. Before the "Nativity Scene". But right now, I'm not thinking about a young pregnant girl on a donkey with no place to stay--I'm thinking about a young pregnant girl in the ICU with possible liver failure.
I wish I had a really cool reason to compare these two girls, but I don't. When Jesus came into this world, it was broken. The thing that makes my heart ache is that this world is still very broken. These two girls make me think of both the brokenness and the redemption that was and is and is to come.
Maybe that's just me.
