in our bones

 

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
