written down big: beautiful words

beautiful words

I am enjoying some new (for me) Christmas music this year. This song especially is beautiful and the words powerful. An excerpt:

....." By holy intervention

An act of love divine

In union with mortality

Make incarnation mine."

Beautiful.... the Holy One, taking on flesh, walking our roads,eating our foods, getting dusty with our dirt

all to save us.

I keep thinking of Mary and her amazing role in this. She began His life by delivering him. He ended His by delivering her. I wonder if He has a special place in heaven for her; his mother/daughter?

I hope to write more later....

Gorgeous! Mary is such an inspiration. We heard a sermon the other day in which the pastor mentioned the thought that Joseph might have taken Mary along with him to Bethlehem (Usually it was the heads of the household only who traveled to pay the taxes) so that she would be under his protection... instead of left on her own at home. (!) I had never thought of it that way before.

Why written down big?

I love the book, "Mr. God, this is Anna." It is a book about the relationship between an extraordinary little girl, and a young man who befriended her. Anna marveled daily at the world she lived in. Little things we consider ordinary were moments of wonder for her. And folks never could understand why, in any such moment of wonder, this strange little girl would shove a pen and piece of paper at them with the command to write it down big. She wanted written expression to the inner exclamation marks she was feeling.
This blog is a medium for me to write down big some of the things I feel. I never can quite tell when I will feel the pen and paper being shoved at me so the posts may be random and interesting :).
