Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him

I am musing about those beautiful words.....

Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him,

As we lift our voices again this Christmas season and proclaim this familiar carol...

are we contemplating the words?

Adore.

To revere, hold in high regard, to esteem with great devotion, to respect, to worship.

It is easy to adore a sweet, innocent, precious, beautiful little baby. To be taken in with the awe and wonder of a baby. Born in a manger. Heralded by angels. Visited by shepherds.

But do we adore the man?

The grown man Jesus?

Do we revere Him? Hold him in highest respect? Worship Him? In the way we speak? In the way we live?

True adoration.

I know that I want to come to know His character more in this coming year, to have an even greater sense of awe and wonder and respect.

To more purely adore Him.

To more sincerely and gratefully worship Him.

To love him more fully. To lean on him more completely. To share him more purposefully.

To experience greater awe, as we come to know just a bit more, the simple complexity of His magnificence. That which will take eternity to even begin to grasp

Our LORD and Savior.

Come as a babe to pave the way to the Father. To offer yearned for freedom and ever deepening joy. Here and now. Forever.

OH COME LET US ADORE HIM!!

The Gift of Art and Creative Contributions

I am marveling at the Gift of Art and Creative Contributions! Wow. What a lovely day. My legs are tired, but my heart if full. Hubby and I biked another portion of the Hennepin Trail today. Beautiful and historic! So of course, our love affair with God's beautiful creation was stoked. But surprisingly, so was my appreciation for Art. We enjoyed biking past one lock after another, those old engineering marvels from the early days of the 20th century. The trail we biked along was a link to days gone by. For it was the same old pathway utilized by mules as they hauled the barges laden with grain and supplies along the canal joining the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. How I appreciated the old steel rusty structures, the bridges and the locks, with their levers, gears, arches and spokes. They spoke to me of the past. As did the old path itself. There were relatively few people o

What I Saw Today

I am musing... ~11/2020 about what I saw today I stepped into the med room this morning. It is a little room off of the west side nurse's station. It was quiet back there. And what I saw made my heart sing with a sense of grateful comfort. There on the counter, someone had left an open Bible. It was sitting there, a testimony that someone had likely taken a moment to grab a deep breath and glean some divine words of encouragement. It was still open, inviting others to also partake from the comfort of it's living pages. Like for so many, this has been a really tough season for all of us. Nurses, aides, administration, housekeeping, dietary, activities....we all have found ourselves caught up in a reality we did not realize we had signed up for. The extra logistics, anxieties, regulations. uncertainties, fogged up glasses, claustrophobic masks, staffing challenges, reside

God Stories. What's yours?

I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep. It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs
