As the powerful clamor to keep our attention no matter how cruel, loud, and divisive it makes them appear, Joseph shows another kind of power. The power of ordinary, quiet, and courageous Love. In this time of Advent , Joseph models the love that Christ will teach his followers, and the kingdom that is ushered in by an average looking human baby in an out of the way manger. God help us see this quiet power of love in our lives and live it out well.
