Your Faith Journey - Finding God Through Words, Song And Praise

Sermon for Faith Lutheran Church-Okemos December 8, 2024; Advent 2 – Year C Megan Floyd Grace and peace to you from God, our Creator, and from the Lord, Jesus Christ, our Savior… the one for whom we prepare.  Amen. I think we all know… babies tend to arrive without regard for whether the parents are fully ready for them… or not. In fact, I don’t know anyone who claims they were fully prepared and ready in every way for the arrival of their children. …and if they said they were, I wouldn’t have believed them. When my husband and I were awaiting the birth of our first child, we did all we believed we were supposed to do to prepare the way. We… made the soft colors bright… and the sharp edges round… we filled baskets with diapers and baby stuff… and we made the rough ways in our home smooth. And yet… we were not fully prepared. We were not prepared for how much the arrival of our child would change us…   We were not prepared for the shift in our relationship and… the love! Who knew you could love someone so much
