Maybe it’s because I’m a woman


 When I think of the holy journey to Bethlehem, I think of Mary and the actual waiting for the “deliverance” every pregnant woman knows is coming. I ponder her being away from her family and friends and the village woman who had delivered her when she was born. It is a formidable experience that doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

Today I kept singing part of a song to myself, one of those ear worm kind of things. Eventually I found it on Google, a song we sing on Maundy Thursday, and I think it is a good thing to think about about his birth and the labor of his mother.
