2020 Here We Come

2020 Here We Come

The week between the commemoration of Christmas and the celebration on New Year’s Eve always fills me with a mixture of emotions.  Here are a few little thoughts for contemplation:
 
Now that Christmas has come and gone
I pray God’s humble presence lingers on
 
Now as 2019 is laid to rest
I pray God’s delight fills your chest
 
And as 2020 comes into view
I pray God’s voice is coming through
 
We have such a kind and gracious Heavenly Father who dwells with us on the way, whose forgiveness and acceptance is there every day, and who loves to guide us if we’ll listen when we pray.
 
In case you are like me and need a little assistance with this time of celebration, here is a Dallas Willard quote that may help: 

“Celebration completes worship because we enjoy ourselves, our life, our world, in conjunction with our faith and confidence in God’s greatness, beauty, and goodness. Typically, this means that we come together with others who know God to eat, drink, to sing and dance, and to relate stories of God’s action in our lives.”

I hope some of this can take place with me and my family, as well as you and yours. 

2020 here we come.
