Between Times
The Beginning
Wednesday, December 27, 2023
In the Darkness of the Between Time,
The Light of Christ Shines
Brightly.
Isaiah 44:6
Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.
Matthew 6:9
Pray then in this way: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

Words of Grace For Today
Between Christmas and New Years is always a time between.
Between the past and the future, and not quite the present,
sacred, set aside
set aside for reflection on what really is.
In the beginning is always God,
and our response to God can always begin with remembering how sacred and hallowed God’s name is, a reflection of God.
For God is not far off, nor so buried within us that we cannot know God, as much as our finite, limited, human brains will know the infinite, unlimited divine.
Thus
we begin each day
praying God’s thanks
begging for mercy and forgiveness
singing God’s praise
and
celebrating Jesus’ presence with us
even this day,
the third day of the Christmas twelve.
