Advent word - surprise

It's the unexpected things in life that keep it interesting...if not a little stressful. We don't necessarily like the unexpected at Christmas, but what could be more unexpected than God incarnate? Who could have seen that coming? We still see God in the unexpected places, but we have to remember to look.

God comes to us as a vulnerable human baby to an unlikely couple in an obscure place. And in doing so turns the world upside down. Jesus says: Stick with me even if I am different, confusing, or surprising. I have come, and I am coming to you today with love! Look for me. Listen. I am coming in an unexpected way.

-Br. Luke Ditewig
