What to do to prepare at this point? When I was a first time mother the preparation for the baby was thorough and energetic. There was still an urgency with our fourth. Every baby deserves clean diapers, clean clothes and bedding, a clean house. what else? a safe carseat and stroller. A comfy infant seat. a baby bathtub. The rubbing alcohol and q-tips for the umbilical cord. baby washcloths and towel. Changing table. Well, atleast half of the items on that list aren't mandatory. What does a newborn need? a mother. and someone to love the mother. An older generation to love the new family. According to the story of Mary and Joseph, there was this cast of characters... a mother, a father, and grandparents. Remember Anne and Joachim? Going back though to the child's mother and little family community. Had this family any idea what child this was they were about to meet? None. Praying for all expectant mothers.. that they may anticipate with joy the miracle about to enter their lives and for those who love her and the new child. and for all of us who anticipate Christmas... that joy will spring in our lives as we invite that Light who seeks a home in our lives.
