Today we are going to talk about isolation and Advent.  Since we are in this pandemic, and since isolation has been more of a part of lives than perhaps we would have liked in 2020, I figured that an Advent devotional that deals exactly with this topic would be helpful.  Most of our family Christmases will be smaller as our Thanksgiving already was.  I am anticipating the sadness of that time to really hit us hard in the coming weeks, and what better way to prepare to face this than to take a deep look at Scripture, at its story, and try to face the coming holiday isolation from events that we are very accustomed to every Christmas.  Just last year, I took my daughter Lydia for her December birthday to Charles Dickens land at the Macy's in Philadelphia, took her afterwards to enjoy an authentic Philly cheese steak, to top it off with seeing a play at the Arden Theatre in old city. This year, there was no ability to have a daddy daughter date.  I’m sure you have a story that you can look back on from last year
