Wandering Wonder...

This time of year, I find myself with moments of overwhelming joy, eyes brimming with tears, and heart full of wonder. Long ago, Jesus came to earth, warpped in flesh, fully God and yet fully human--to lead us, to teach us how to live and how to love. Christ is still coming--every day in our actions, words, in unspoken silence, in listening, in looking at the stars, in playing with a young child. In all of these ordinary moments, we come to Christ and Christ comes to us and to others. Jesus is being birthed through these tiny, yet monumental moments. We have seen the child...can others tell that we have seen and now believe? Maybe there is a time for pondering and letting Christ work in our hearts...a time for unspoken wonder and a time for wondering aloud.

I Wonder as I Wander

"I wonder as I wander out under the sky,
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die.
For poor on'ry people like you and like I...
I wonder as I wander out under the sky.
When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow's stall,
With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all.
But high from God's heaven a star's light did fall,
And the promise of ages it then did recall.
If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing,
A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing,
Or all of God's angels in heav'n for to sing,
He surely could have it, 'cause he was the King."

-John Jacob Niles

new to this...

So...I'm new to this, but thought it would be a good investment of my time to get out my thoughts and use my creativity and imagination to dream about this world with you...so here I am. I'll be around here and there in the near future.
