That is God in my life. Presence and blessing.
Presence: there.
Available even in the mystery of the holy. Holy, even in the midst of the mundane.
Ordinary as the face of a stranger; innocent as the face of a newborn.
Powerful yet not coercive. Reassuring but not complicit.
Forgiving even in the face of my defiance.
Presence: in, with and under
the bread and the wine,
the beauty of almost everything,
the words of grace from another.
Presence: standing near and not accusing when I am very busy accusing myself.
Blessing: There are a lot of ways to describe Christ's presence in my life but there is only one blessing....
You are my beloved child.
Perhaps God will add a second blessing as soon as I live as if I believe the first.
