          Take that which I have given you, and use it to its fullest potential, opening doors, revealing mysteries, enhancing life upon Earth beyond your dreams and imaginings.  Do not overlook the smallest of details, incorporating even your morning regime into glorious revelations of all that is with you.  It does not matter if your hands are gnarled with age, or fresh and dewy with youth.  They are your hands and have done great things throughout your lifetime, as antennae, allowing you to touch and feel, sensing that which is close to you.  It does not matter if pieces and parts of your incredible body have aged, or glisten with youthful exuberance, your body has done great things throughout your lifetime, allowing you to experience Earth.  This is cause for celebration in revelation brought to you through the physical.

 And The Holy Spirit says:

           Allow your spirit to guide your body, thus creating an experience, consisting of the spiritual and the physical, combined within your being.  I AM with you.  Listen for the whisper and feel the stirring, as you make this earthly portion of your eternal journey, embracing the uniqueness of the forever you; without hesitation, or restraint be one with all you are.

 

 

 

          Awaken from the trance which seemingly protects you from overstimulation of the world.  This state of existence is no longer necessary.  It has numbed you and your responses to that which is happening all around you.  You walk, detached, unmoved.  I AM calling you to rise-up and let the shroud fall from you, as you stand in My Light, once again.  You are in the world to experience the world, but to do so, bringing light where there was no light, love where there was no love, and compassion where there was no compassion.

 And The Holy Spirit says:

           Remove the blinders from your face, and see what is happening around thee.  You are not born of the Earth to deny the experience.  You are born of the Earth to bring light wherever you go.  I dwell within you, to go where you go, see what you see, and in exchange lead you through every valley of darkness, being your light.  I AM your Counselor.  Make My presence within you known in the world.  When words are necessary, but you cannot find the right words to speak, I will whisper, from within, and you will speak with confidence.  When actions are necessary, but you cannot find the strength to rise-up, I will fill you with My breath, and you will rise to be The Light of God.

 

 

          If you choose to live in the present, you will flourish in the garden of the present piece of eternity with you.  The past shall be as rich soil, invigorating your roots to growth and strength.  And in this newfound state of being the lessons of the past shall lead you beyond that which was, a badge of experiences, no longer ruling you or holding you hostage, but freeing you to live, fully, completely.  The future shall shine as the sun in the day, the moon in the night, and the stars shall be the map.  All things shall come to you, just as you are, in the present.

 And The Holy Spirit says:

           Languishing, in memories of the past, or trembling in thoughts of the future, serves no purpose, but to hold you in the grip of that which was, while fear, of the future, immobilizes you into a stagnant state, robbing you of the precious present with you.  It is good to hold past experiences as the valuable lessons they are.  It is good to carry the lessons with you in the present, using them to assist you in your journey, using them as steppingstones into the new day with you.  Know the past, without being stuck there.  Be aware of the future without fearing it.  All shall come to you, as you prepare to meet your destiny and shine, with a brilliance the world has not seen before.  Live in the present, without regret of the past, without fear of the future, celebrating the precious piece of eternity with you, today.

 

The Seventh Day of Christmas

The Journey to an Epiphany

 

 

         Sometimes, we just know.  It is my feeling that when we know, from the core of our being, that something we have been told is not true, we are connected with The Holy Spirit, in such a way, that the guidance, the counsel, the comfort, the strength is flowing through us, creating an environment wherein we embrace The Wisdom of God.  It has happened to me, and I know it has also happened to each of you.  Still, there have been times when I pushed my inner guidance aside to follow the direction of another, or others.  And they need not be individuals, looking to do harm.  The advice, most often, will come from those intending to serve us well, by offering their knowledge or sharing their experience.  And this is when we must turn our ears inward, and listen to the Voice, whispering from within.  That guidance, coming from within, is specifically for each of us.  And, when followed, sets all things straight, for us.  Living the journey that is ours can be filled with temptations to shift paths and follow another as they journey.  But in the quiet of night, when all things are still, and we are at rest, we will know, and with eagerness follow, not the ways of the world, but The Way of God, because The Holy Spirit of God will guide us so.  We might never know what good was done as we followed The Way, but we can be sure we did what was ours to do.

 

          On this seventh day of Christmas, the reading I have chosen is from Matthew 2:9.

The Reading

 

         “After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.” Matthew 2:9

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Fifth Day of Christmas

The Journey to an Epiphany

 

 

         When a loved one passes, during the season of Christmas, emotions, feelings, somehow resonate in a different way.  It seems that this time of year magnifies that which we feel, takes us beyond what is considered to be the norm.  And perhaps it is because we are remembering the Incarnation, (“the embodiment of a deity or spirit in some earthly form”) (Merriam Webster).  Think on it.  At Christmas we are commemorating The Incarnation, God became human, spirit became flesh.  But we are all spirit, becoming flesh, when we are born upon Earth.  When the time comes to each of us to return Home, then our flesh releases spirit.  Ego ceases to hold its place.  It is energy changing form.  It is all holy, sacred, and sometimes more than we can comprehend fully.  These feelings are with us at this time of year, especially when someone we love makes the passing.  They are flesh releasing, unfolding, opening, returning wholly to spirit.  This alone is cause for celebration.  And we can add to that concept that we can become even closer to that person whom we miss for that very reason.  They have returned to spirit, as we are celebrating Spirit becoming flesh.  It can be a mystery, yet the answer is held, within each of us.

 

          On this fifth day of Christmas, the reading I have chosen is from Matthew 2:3-6.

The Reading

 

         “When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

         6 “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
who will shepherd my people Israel
.” Matthew 2:3-6

 

 

The Third Day of Christmas

The Journey to an Epiphany

 

 

         Each of us can recall a time when we looked forward to something of great import to us.  It could have been a graduation, birth of a child, or the completion of a project, or a mission.  The looking forward to it, the fulfillment of the promise of that which was to come, was always a piece of the whole, for the climax would not be as precious without the accepting, the believing, and the journey of it all.  And that is what occupies my thoughts so often this time of year.  This time we have been renewing and remembering the path toward The Incarnation.  And the time of waiting, seeking, and hoping made it all even more precious.  God made flesh!  It happened!  Nothing we do or say can ever change the glorious truth that The Word was made flesh.  How we choose to see this is all up to us.  It would be a blessing to see it together.  It is exciting to continue our journey, with each other, bringing even more wonder to our lives as we walk The Path of Epiphany.

 

          On this third day of Christmas, the reading I have chosen is from Luke 2:15-20.

The Reading

 

         “When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

         16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.” Luke 2:15-20

 

Christmas Meditation

The Shepherds of Bethlehem

 

 

Fourth Meditation

Led by Angels

 

          The group of shepherds became even more solitary, finding peace and comfort together, and with the sheep, trees, and rolling hillsides.  And this is where they made their home.  They formed a bond which was sealed by Spirit.  They talked amongst themselves of the angels, and of The Child that was born to all those of Earth.  They grew in The Wisdom of Spirit and became more Spirit than matter.

Spend some time thinking of the lives of the shepherds, not as figures depicted in drawings, but as real people.  Ponder on how their lives were altered, forever, because of the apparition of angels, announcing the birth of The Child of God and of Earth. They were led by the voices of angels.  Be led by the voices of the angels.

As the shepherds were led, follow the path of angels.  Carry within you a vision of angelic beings gathering on hillsides, and mountains, on beaches, and deserts, on city streets, and country roads, in every land under the sun.  Pick up the anthem, and sing of the presence of angels, and the words they bring.  Sing of the message.  Sing.
