Advent Week 1: Hope - Friday
The Spirit is Breathing
Dom Helder Camara
The spirit is breathing.
All those with eyes to see,
women and men with ears for hearing
detect a coming dawn;
a reason to go on
They seem small, these signs of dawn,
Perhaps ridiculous.
All those with eyes to see,
women and men with ears for hearing
uncover in the night
a certain gleam of light;
they see the reason to go on.
Something to Think About
Robert A. Raines
God speaks to us in [God's] own special sign language - a baby. Not much... A baby. A baby is birth, beginning, potential without guarantee. A baby is helpless but not hopeless. A baby is someone to watch. A baby is the future appearing now. Are there baby-signs from God signaling hope to us watchers on the hillside?
What baby-signs of HOPE do you see that suggest God is at work?
