Holding our breath

My soul cries out with a joyful shout
 that the God of my heart is great,
and my spirit sings of the wondrous things
 that you bring to the ones who wait.
You fixed your sight on your servant's plight 
and my weakness you did not spurn,
so from eat to west shall my name be blest.  
Could the world be about to turn? 
 Canticle of the Turning ELW 723


We are in the countdown.  There is much that could be done and choices will be made.  We have become experts at prioritizing our time, money and energy.  Exhaustion is always just outside the front door.

In all this, be sure you leave yourself time to hold your breath....to take in the enormity of this gift, this moment in time, this invitation into life.....because you sure wouldn't want to find out that it had all passed you by.  For the world is about to turn.
