in our bones
A reflection on Shine – A Christmas Blessing by Jan
Richardson
I feel it in my bones,
she would say,
when change was coming
and she was right
I feel it in my bones ~
an expression of deep-rooted knowledge
certainty
truths held close
treasured
Your light has come
Is coming
Will come
The light will bear itself into our bones
if we open our hearts
if we only say “yes”
with the certainty of faith
that it will be so
Come, Emmanuel
God with us
God with me
I feel it in my bones
and it is so
