In All That Is,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Find Ourselves<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Between<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremiah 31:28<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring evil, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says the Lord.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

James 5:7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be patient, therefore, beloved, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious crop from the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words of Grace For Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the time outside of time,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

as it were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between Christmas Day and New Year\u2019s Day, a week of extra-ordinary time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to contemplate the wonder of Christmas, Jesus born as one of us, giving us a clear story of God with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to remember who we are, and whose we are, and what wondrous, loving, and gracious things God has done for us great sinners to make us saints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to remember the stories that make us live as we do, humble, generous, loving, and bringing wondrous news to all people: that God is for us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God, the judge of all able to destroy all evil, relents and graciously moves us to plant and build today for a future for all people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God provides this time for us to wait, again, for a new beginning, just as we sleep at night each night, waiting and trusting that God will forgive us that day\u2019s sins and create in us clean hearts for the start of each new day, and each new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time between,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time between us being irrational people caught by emotions that confuse and mislead us, between that and rational minds that have no room for wonder and grace, and between all that (and more that we humans are in our feeble ways) and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the miracle that is God knowing us completely, choosing us, forgiving us, renewing us, calling and sending us out to share God\u2019s Good News, the story of Jesus for us, and then God walking with us come what may.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time between<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time between the mundane and the mystery,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to be miracles of God\u2019s making, living with emotions and using rational thought, and surrendering both to the mystery that is life, and God for us in this life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
