Ah, it is continuing to rain, God. Thank You! I love waking up to the sound of rain. And, when the sun breaks through there is the hope of rainbows. Yesterday was full of them — one just lying flat in our valley. And I am smiling at the memory. Actually, God, I love LIGHT! Light flowing through plants, light sparkling off water, light through the prism of raindrops — all ineffably wonderful.
So, this morning as we gathered to hear the old prophecies of Light Coming Into Darkness it coincided beautifully with the dark of our lengthening nights. And, as I sit here offering You a bit of my mind and time, the main point of this glorious season comes to me: Your Light is supposed to Flow through US! Shine forth from us! I think of the halos of saints . . . and I feel pretty opaque.
Sigh, I AM OPAQUE. But, I love Your LIGHT. And You don’t ever give up on us! And now, dropping down into what is known as reality — I would say that the essential point is just exactly that — YOU NEVER GIVE UP ON US. Your glorious (albeit very quiet) entry into History is all about YOU opening the WAY for us. And You do indeed, stand at the door of our hearts, knocking . . . wanting to enter in and together feast with us on all You have provided.
No wonder hurting, sorrowing, depressed people find this simply too good to be true. Ah, God, help us! Help us unbolt, unchain, and OPEN up our hearts to YOU! Reach out to us in music, in light — even on snow — in smiles and small acts of kindness. And help those of us who are opaque to ask You for transparency . . . or maybe that is just a by-product of the small acts of kindness and joy? Ahaaa. Let YOUR WILL in me, be ONGOING!
Thank You!
