". . . keep yourselves in the love of God . . ." - Jude 1:21a
Dear Friends in Christ -
The Scripture passages we've been reading these past couple of weeks have carried many serious messages and stern warnings. I've been picking many of the lightest bits to share with you, but even so, I've grown weary of challenges to prepare and calls to repent.
Last night, I took a break from it all and indulged in some pull-out-all-the-stops virtuoso music. My husband and I went to see PRINCE in concert. WOW! What a funky, joyful reveling in art for the ears. For the whole body, for that matter; we couldn't help but dance to the music!
For me, music is the eighth sacrament, an outward and audible sign of the wild, deep, glorious roaring of God's heartbeat as it echoes through the universe. Immersing myself in music allows me to let go and just flow, and reminds me that my chief role in God's creation is to be a 'being,' not a 'doing.'
As we prepare for Christmas, may we all remember to 'keep ourselves in the love of God,' remembering to let go a little and revel in His goodness, which is manifest around us in so many ways.
Reveling in the joys of creation and creativity,
Janet+
