Karen and Anne explore our theme for the fourth week of Advent: LOVE!  We unpack what our Advent stories tell us about what love looks like.  Mary showed fearless love when the angel Gabriel visited her.  Elizabeth and Mary shared their supportive love for each other during their miraculous pregnancies.  And Joseph stepped forward in faith with tender love for Mary and baby Jesus.  Take a break this week to reflect on how sometimes love calls us to let go of expectations, lay down our lives in trust, and hold nothing back.
