As we arrive at the last Sunday of Advent, I pray that we have prepared our hearts.

Just as the eggs in our incubator have been given an environment conducive to growth, I pray that over these last four weeks, you have been able to grow as well.

Soon, we will have chicks—and soon, we will have Christmas.

My prayer is that hope, peace, and joy have found you, and that this week, love has met you in a new way.

God is with us.

May we love like it.

Passage: Matthew 1:18-24 CEB
