Christmas Eve

Zach and I just got back from our Christmas Eve Service at church. One of the duties of Elder is to serve Communion. I am always deeply grateful for this opportunity. I can't find the words to express how my heart feels to serve my church family.

During the service, what always speaks to me is the passage "This bread and wine are now set apart from a common use to a holy use. " Things that normally sit on the counter and in the fridge are now set apart, to join us together and celebrate this physical act that is the cornerstone of our relationship with God.

This is what I want for Christmas.. I want to be set apart from a common use. I want to be more. I want us all to be more.. More loving, more giving, more trusting, more caring, more more.

I want to live in a world where everyone is warm, safe and full.
