20 G+M+B O9

A portion of a great post from A Concord Pastor Comments:

". . . . The magi had to let go something of their self-determination
and let God have a hand in charting their journey…

The magi are important for us
not so much for their finding the Christ Child,
but in their seeking him:
their looking up beyond themselves;
their willingness to leave some things behind
in favor of finding something more valuable;
and their letting God stake a claim on their hearts."

The Feast of The Epiphany is Tuesday.

I pray we can be more like Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthesar and seek Jesus beyond our human definition of comfort & security. And may we joyfully let God have the reins of our life's direction.

We will be blessing our new nest as we did at our home last year on The Feast of The Epiphany.

20 G+M+B O9

May Christ bless our House…
And All who dwell and pray in it…
And All Who Are Welcome in His Name
