Treasuring and Pondering
Tell me how He loves
Tell me how He wants me
Tell me the story like I've never heard before
And I'll sing like the angels
Sing with my whole heart
Sing to Him who's worth a thousand suns and more
Glory in the highest
Glory in the lowest
Glory that shines when nothing seems to shine at all
Glory in the highest
Glory in the lowest
Emmanuel
-Jon & Valerie Guerra, “Lord Remind Me”
For the past several weeks, I have been exploring the Advent themes of hope amidst darkness, our great need for Emmanuel, and cultivating a posture that is open to the life-bearing work of the Holy Spirit. This week, I have the honor of sharing my husband’s recent article in which he asks,
After a season of waiting, what is it like to receive the desire of our hearts?
How do we do this well, even when the rest of the world swiftly moves on from the wonder of Christmas?
May you be blessed in these twelve days of Christmas in which we, like Mary, treasure and ponder the gifts and complexities of our own stories.
