It’s (Not) Just a Baby

I really enjoyed this article, titled “It’s (Not) Just a Baby” – the author captures how children, baby Jesus, and those who pull us into the unknown and the loss of control are often scary, and life changing. This reflection is based on last week’s reflection for Advent from Matthew, from the Ekklesia Project Blog, and is woven around thoughts on adopting a child (presumably from another background then that of the author). I think it captures the sense of the unknown and the fear of loss of control that children can sometimes bring, as well as the interesting dynamics of biology, race, and identity that different families share. If you’ve ever thought about cross-cultural adoption, or having children, or just how families interact in general, you might also enjoy this.
