While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child.
We are all meant to be mothers of God... for God is always needing to be born
Meister Eckhart
Mothering is not easy
And it’s messy
Be it the physical exhaustion
of pushing a fragile life
into the world
through blood, sweat and tears
Or the emotional investment
in nurturing the wellbeing
of another
It is costly
and compelling
and often happens
unexpectedly
unpredictably
when we can do no other
but respond to
the call presented to us
The opportunity
to present good news
of great joy
even in dire straits
That is the miracle
of birthing God.
And it’s a call
that rings out clearly
all over the world today
in the obvious
and in the hidden places
A call to all
and for all
The world is filled
with angels
and shepherds
announcing good news
highlighting
everywhere
God needs to be born today.
