age. I cried with a teen as
she told about the gift of un-
derstanding when she lis-
tened to a friend who was
depressed. I beamed as
core member of youth minis-
try chose to do what is right
rather than what is popular.
Although I always wanted to
have a vision of from God,
speaking to me in some celestial manner, I now know that he did! Al-
though I thought it might be more Hollywood style, it was more homespun.
The words of our God came in the voices of teen and adult volunteers.
Homespun like an infant born in a humble cave where animals breathe kept
the child warm. Where kings knelt down giving honor and praise.
Prayer
Emmanuel, that is, God is with us.
May we always see, hear and experience the presence of You in our
sacraments and in the sacrament of ministry.
Prepare us O Lord for your coming again, and again.
I am this is your holy name.
Amen
