Today, I encourage
you to find a version of “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” to listen
to. You can find multiple versions on
YouTube ~ there is one posted above.
Listen to the
Carol three times.
First, listen to
the words. What is evoked and provoked
on this third day of leaning into the words.
Second, listen to the
melody/harmony. How does the music take
you on the journey for initially hearing the sweet bells, to hanging your head
at the despair in the world, to the resolve that God is presence.
Third, listen for
what is awoken with you. How does your
shy soul long to respond to this Carol in these December days?
May this prayer
practice help you be awake and alert to God’s peace/presence in these
days. Amen.
