Last Sunday I went to church (MCCLA) with kitty. It was a very profound and moving experience. Since then, I have been struggling for a way to articulate it.
Tonight, I went to the Christmas eve service with Christopher and kitty. Many of the same emotions were evoked and I'm still not ready to confine them to words. There is one thing that popped into my head toward the end of the service.
When I was studying the life of Moses many years ago, there was a reoccuring event. On a number of occasions, the Israelites would gather for praise and thanksgiving. During this time there would be a recitation of what God had done for them. After each recognition of God's goodness, there would be a pause of acknowledgement and reflection. In this pause was an understanding of 'It is enough' If what God did was all that ever happened, it is enough. Each sufficient act, followed by another sufficient act, followed by another, etc, reminded them of the bounty of God.
Tonight, Christopher went up with kitty and I to take communion. There aren't adequate words to convey the many levels of meaning there were to this, except this: It is enough.
