Immersing my heart in Advent allows me to ponder how Our Lady went about nesting and preparing for her Son's birth. I'm certain she wanted to freshen the home, wash a few simple linens, tidy and arrange her cooking supplies. I imagine she wanted to make her nest as beautiful and comfortable and secure as she possibly could in anticipation of HIM. Instead, she packed a tiny bag and started the journey towards Bethlehem.Jennifer has a beautiful reflection about our Blessed Mother's "nesting" for her child. Please go over to Wildflowers and Marbles and read the whole thing. This nesting mother deeply appreciated the reminder to look inward to prepare for the Christ child.
