Happy Epiphany Everyone!

 


Happy Epiphany everyone!  Today is the day the Christian church celebrates the arrival of the Wise Ones with their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  You might celebrate today by:

 

~ Reading Matthew 2:1-12 ~ you might ponder prayerfully gifts you can offer God, others, and ourself.  Or you might ponder prayerfully the road you are traveling or ask yourself the question from Sunday, “What am I searching for?”  I know, you didn’t think that was actual homework, did you?

~ You could sing over and over again, “We Three Kings”

~ Going outside tonight to gaze at the stars remembering that it was a star that led the Wise Ones to Jesus

~ Since today is the 12th day of Christmas you could giving someone the gift of 12 drummers drumming, 11 pipers piping, 10 Lords a-leaping…you know the rest.

~ Naming and claiming where you need God’s guidance and grace (I have a LONG list).  Epiphany means awakening, where do you need new insight or ideas into life.

~ Consider this quote, Clement of Alexandria said, "The Logos (Word) of God has become human so that you might learn from a human being how a human being may become divine."  That quote will sit in your soul for a while!

~Sharing the gift of time with others because our Epiphanies, awakenings, and awareness grows when we are connected with others.

 

I pray God’s blessings to you however you decide to celebrate Epiphany today.
