Dearly Beloved,

Grace and Peace to you.

*            W*

*hen the parents brought in the child Jesus,             to do for him what
was customary under the law,             Simeon took him in his arms and
praised God.*
                                    —Luke 2.27-28

The Christ child is no longer in the manger.
The Holy Infant is in your heart now—
beloved, full of God's possibilities,
warm with God's gentle presence,
God's tender newness within you.
Love the Christ child.
And how do you do that?
Sit there, mostly.
Hold the child.
Let the mystery of love flow
between your heart and the child's.
Like a new parent,
let this become part of your routine.
Give time to simply sit
and hold the divine child in your heart.
Rock the child,
                        rock the child,
                                                rock the child.



Deep Blessings,
Steve
