If there is anything I have learned as a parent, it is that the only thing you can be certain about is that your life with your kids will be filled with uncertainty. Given that fact, my husband, Mark, and I really shouldn’t have been surprised when our oldest daughter, Maddie, called us a few months ago and asked, “Can I move back home?”
On this second day of the Advent season, we focus on the comfort found in the light of Christ.
Today we start the Advent season, leading up to Christ’s birth. Here are some ways for your family to celebrate the journey.
As parents, we know that our main job is to raise our children to become responsible adults who will eventually step away from us and forge their own paths. We hope that when doing so, they will take with them all that we have tried to teach them. That’s the way it works. We do our best and then step aside.
This week we celebrate the first Sunday of the Advent season, beginning our four week journey to the birth of Christ.
This week we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. In the Gospel, we hear Pilate ask Jesus if he is the King of the Jews.
When kids are little, one of the first rules many parents teach them is to play nicely. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line as we start to grow up, we tend to forget that lesson ourselves.
