"The angel said, 'Don't be afraid! Look! I bring good news to you -- wonderful, joyous news for all people.'" -- Luke 2:1-15
When we honor our own wisdom, our own deep knowing, we acknowledge the work of the sacred within us. Our own sacred knowing. When the angels appeared to the shepherds in their fields so long ago, the shepherds had a frightening moment of disbelief that turned into a deep knowing -- knowing that they must make a journey to see the newborn Jesus. The shepherds were just ordinary people, doing their ordinary work like they did every day. And like those ordinary people long ago, we too can listen for the sacred knowing within us, calling us to change our plans, change our very lives, and seek what matters most.
In Advent Calendar 1, I wrote about a song I used to sing to my baby daughter. It's a song about that sacred knowing, "It's In Every One Of Us." Today, as we move ever closer to Christmas, listen to a version of that song, and listen for the sacred knowing within you. What do you need to do, where and how do you need to seek where the holy is being born in you, in your life, in your world?
