Advent Series: The disruptive road to fatherhood Simply Light Hearted

Welcome to week two of this year's Advent Series. As we continue in this advent season, I want to invite us to spend some time thinking about the interesting and beautiful disruptions you could have never planned for in your life. Things you maybe prayed for you, but received in a way you didn’t expect it. Or something you didn’t think you wanted, but then when it came you can’t imagine your life without it. The two key players in this week’s story are two that do get talked about a lot at Christmas, but I don’t think we often talk about them in this light. This week I want to talk about Zechariah and Joseph. With both of these men, their lives were forever changed by the disruption a child would bring to their lives. One was a longed-for, prayed-for child, the other was completely unexpected and in a lot of ways inconvenient.
