12.12.12

Today the buzz was all about 12.12.12... Yes, it is an amazing day as it will not happen again in our lifetime.   However, for me the amazing thing about this day, was the feeling I had first thing this morning.  It is an awesome feeling to walk in somewhere and feel you are at "home"... when I hear the song by Phillip Phillips, I immediately think of how I feel and my connection at Holy Trinity... I felt that once again today.  I thought a lot this past week about the internal struggles and things that were said and realized in any family, there will always be family members who once in awhile say or do things that we choose to react about.  In this case, I have to remember that I am in a new family, there will be times when I do need to take a step back and then there will be times when I need to just let things go... And that God is right there telling me to GET UP!!!!  Someone once said if you sit in church and you feel like the Pastor 's (priest, whomever) Sermon is speaking directly to you, then you know just how good they are. Many times I have felt this, however, after this morning, I really hold that statement to be true.  I was sitting on every word and really at the end, all I could say was thank you.  It was a really GREAT way to start my day and this evening was an awesome way to end my day.  So tonight I am grateful to our Lord for giving me these opportunities and to Carol who makes my attendance in these events all possible.  Thank you for this Wondrous Wednesday and may tomorrow you trip into a terrific Thankful Thursday... Remember tomorrow a message from the Benedictus....

In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
