Rest & Revel

Most of my make/buy/wrap/bake/rehearse/chaperone/sing/show up "obligations" (in quotes, b/c I *wanted* to do them :-)) are all done now. I just have to sit back & bask in the glory of Advent & coming Christmas. [Well, and do a last day of laundry & pack to go HOME for the holidays! :-D] I am in heaven tonight, sipping a chai latte *at home* thanks to JB's parents gifting him with a Keurig! [He was so thrilled, he woke up early, brewed a quick coffee, & dropped me off at church this morning (instead of us taking separate cars, since I had to be there at 8 to sing in both services.)]


From Following the Star:

"God of wonder, help me to pay attention to your unpredictable work in my life. Help me to treasure the miracles you bring across my path, even when – perhaps especially when – they are well disguised, like dirty shepherds. And help me to ponder your surprises, to see more clearly your hand in my life, so that I can follow you in joy."

"God of the unknown future, life is full of change, stress, miracles, blessings, mysterious outlooks, strange possibilities & innumerable questions. You are God of all – my amazement at the miraculous present & my anxiety over tomorrow’s forecast. Guide, keep, & remind me that joy is not dependent on happiness or circumstance, but is found in You, in the midst of change, stress, miracle, blessing and uncertainty."
