The Reign of God as a dove. If you have any comments adebelak@redeemerluth.com . First - sorry about no post yesterday - I let the Buckeye game keep me from getting to the task of writing yesterday. The Reign of God as a dove drops down upon us. Right in the middle of any of the things that come into our day, God seems to have a way of touching us - resting upon us - grabbing our attention. I often wonder if we have to be vigilant to see this peaceable Reign interrupting the day. Or, does it happen many times and yet we may or may not see it at all. I also wonder if there are people for whom this dove is simply flitting about in and through every day and they are connected the whole time. The Reign of God as a dove swoops in - moves by - floats above us - maybe even rests on our lives as a bird on our shoulder. Maybe it is as we are open to calling on God's Spirit to come and lead us or move us or touch us - we may find that this dove is indeed present already and it is offering us a fullness of life that may change the time at hand - even the rest of our lives. O God of love and new life, come and open our eyes and our hearts to your love and peace. Amen. |
