Advent 3rd Friday: Jesus had a dysfunctional family, too.

An account of the genealogy of Jesus…”. Gospel of Matthew 1:1-17

Have you ever read the genealogy of Jesus? It’s a who’s who of real life, love, and sometimes the theatre of the bizarre. Maybe just like your family lineage.

Consider today who in your current story is a part of your joy. Who is a part of your sorrow? Hold this person in God’s loving presence and ask, “What part of their story is for my transformation?” How can I learn from joy and suffering this Holiday season? Is there an action to take? Is there something or someone I to let go of? 

Talk to a spiritual friend or trusted counselor about these things and see what might emerge as a way to see as God sees.

Sending love from our lineage,

Clare and Scott
