I Have Come To ShineI have cometo take you by your hand,and bring you to myself.I have cometo shine your wayas you walk this path.I will make you guiltless,I will make you fearless,then I will place you in thebrightest point in the universe.I have come like a breeze of springto your field of flowers,so I can hold you by my side,and embrace you tight.I have cometo take you by your hand,and bring you to myself.I have cometo shine your wayas you walk this path.Like the cry of lovers,I will help you reach theroof of heavens.From the dust of the earth…

#AdventWord #Presence

Categories: #AdventWordTags: · 2 Comments

Real presence. Eye to eye. It was a cool December day in southeast Texas, and I could feel his warmth. But more. Indeed, I was not surprised when I got this photo on my computer and recognized my bright blue shirt, gray vest, arm holding my camera to my face… all reflected in his eye. In this case, “presence” is two creatures recognizing each others’ creatureliness across boundaries of size, shape, family, species. But not kingdom. We are of the same kingdom, the same Creation.
