So well describes the life on earth...and who the heck knows what God has in mind in all of it?<br /><br />I love the concept of light in the darkness, so I enjoyed your quotes on Christ as the light. In the end, it's the only light that will bring me peace in the crazy days and events that I just don't understand. That's the Christmas story too. Nobody understood how Jesus could come from where he did either. <br /><br />I always enjoy your posts Sharon, and this one is no different. Bless you for your encouraging writing.<br />Happy Wednesday :)<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-59250098108227489062013-12-17T21:17:42.648-08:002013-12-17T21:17:42.648-08:00Very nice.

I'll always remember the awe I felt today when praying at the Kotel---and also the JOY I saw on the other worshipers' faces. Worship and prayer are ways to approach a holy, righteous, and gracious God who is waiting to meet us. The curtain of separation has been torn in two, and we can feel the warmth of His love --- like sun-warmed stones --- any time and in any place." </i>(p.118) as you have written to me often about your perspective of "Emmanuel" (God with us, in us) dwelling: the Voice, the wind, in the rain or in the SONshine, in the Light or in the shadow ... of His Cross. My heart now wonders as I wander and sing with you ... "We 3 Kings" ... may our lives remain in the calm, the cleft of the Rock, under the shadow of the Almighty, in our life in Him, because as we grow in the shadow of the well-rooted, living Branch of Jesse, tree of life, "In Him was life and the life was the Light ...". This Light draws me into the warmth of His love and His Light even in the shadows, even in the gray or clouded view ... I can hope for seeing more of Him and His glory!<br /><br />So I will press on in the peace or the pain,<br />Knowing full well, I seek heaven's gain.<br />It came in a manger, on a sweet holy night,<br />His name is Jesus, He is my Light.<br /><br />Peace and love in Jesus' Name,<br />Peggy<br />Peggynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-4050494196966531182013-12-16T22:48:01.543-08:002013-12-16T22:48:01.543-08:00We often wonder where we are being blown and tosse...We often wonder where we are being blown and tossed to!
