Okay, I know that title could be taken the wrong way, so stay with me here...
Sometimes the glory of something... can be seen from the backside. I know I've pursued His face, His beauty, and I expect it to be this ecstatic experience... but it's often when I'm feeling my worst, my least lovely and least able to recognize beauty, that He offers a glimpse, a little peek into eternity, and it's actually not until later that the vision takes my breath away.
Like right now, after a long, full day, and I am just now really beholding His beauty as I remember His light shining through Echo's frail little Body this morning... delicate petals, hanging in there, pursuing Him together, laughing together, delighting in eachother in the RIGHT NOW. Maybe there are concerns about this or that, people sick, money needed, work to do, scary things ahead, but right now, there is the simple enjoyment of being FAMILY. We KNOW we're there together now, and for the moment, for this fleeting moment, that feels really good. And it's truly beautiful...
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the head, coming down upon the beard, Aaron's beard, coming down upon the edge of his robes. "
Psa 133:1-2
Ah, you see that! THIS is ordination, folks! It's precious oil on our Shepherd-Priest-King's head, and He smiles...
Looking forward to dwelling with you in unity as we celebrate the family Seder this Thursday, Echo L.O.! You are LOVED...
