20 G+M+B 10

A portion of a great post from A Concord Pastor Comments written in  2009:

". . . . 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 falls on Wednesday, January 6, 2010. In most countries, including the United States, the celebration of Epiphany in 2010 is transferred to Sunday, January 3.

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 are so incredibly fortunate to be back in our home and will be blessing it as we did  on The Feast of The Epiphany 2008.

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