From Dorrie . . .

On this snowy January 3rd, it feels like Christmas has come and gone, yet the
twelve days of Christmas continue  until January 6th, which is the Epiphany of
our Lord Jesus Christ, “the manifestation of Christ to the peoples of the earth”.  
It is Christ breaking into our world and our lives.

In these winter months often characterized by snowy days and low, brilliant,
winter light, remember to take time to be present to the beauty, the quiet, the
stillness of the winter season and notice how Christ is being made manifest to
you.  Come to Lectio Divina and meet God in scripture.  Take time to journal
your daily blessings and thanksgivings.  Light a candle as night begins  to fall as
a reminder that the light of Christ is always present, even in the darkest nights.  
And when you are unable to sleep try praying for whoever or whatever situation
comes to mind.

And remember in the Gospel of John (8:12b-13) Jesus says, “I am  the light of
the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in   darkness but will have the
light of life.”

Peace,
Dorrie+
