Sunday Reflection: Christmas Continues
It's still Christmas, at least in the liturgical season, and that has always meant something to me. After the waiting of advent, the quiet I sought (sometimes unsuccessfully), this is a season of joy. And I have found that, too, in being with family back in Detroit, seeing my Mom well, and enjoying the warmth that can come on a cold day from being with those people who know you best (and love you anyways).
It's a time, too, to take joy in faith that starts with the birth of Jesus, and I have felt that, too. It kind of sneaks up on me, actually-- I have these moments of realization that can come from music or prayer or just... kind of out of nowhere. And how great is that?
