A Christmas Special, Part 2

"All these misfits - pushed away and ostracized - they aren’t bad. They aren’t wrong. They just are. And all they want is what we all want - a chance. A chance to be loved, a chance to belong; a chance to be themselves; a chance to thrive in spite of their misfitting and misgivings; a chance to be a part of the great reversal, where the down and out are no longer consigned to a far away, fog-encased island - but they are seen, valued, brought into the community, and made whole...They wanted what Mary sang about in her Magnificat and what Jesus preached about in his first sermon, the Son sounding like his Mother, a place where the last are made first."  (This is Part 2 of Ronnie's 20223 Advent Series.)
