One reason I love Advent is the opportunity to re-live or reenact the waiting for Emmanuel. It gives us the opportunity to see and experience what we otherwise would miss. Thank you, Bethany, for this reminder to give myself to that possibility.

Thank you Bethany! It is true for me that “my chronos-driven daily living has crowded my willingness to be open to the kairos moments of Advent.” I am grateful for “hearing the story, ” again. It’s time for me to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. Blessings to all!

I just wanted to send my thanks for this series that interrupted the business of the season at least a little bit to be reminded that God was coming to live among us. I was particularly impressed by the insights of individuals from all levels of academia.
Again, thanks.

Thank you very much for these good thoughts and the challenge to
take the time to think about what this story means. To think about Christmas from the perspective of God, Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the time when Jesus’s birth took place causes more wonder and amazement. Barbara Longenecker
