waiting

Saturday January 3rd, Luke 2: 37 She was now eighty-four years old. She never left the Temple but stayed there day and night, worshiping God with fasting and prayer. 38 She came along just as Simeon was talking with Mary and Joseph, and she began praising God. She talked about Jesus to everyone who had been waiting for the promised King to come and deliver Jerusalem. Luke often pairs stories of men with stories of women. It is way of pointing out that the love of God is for everyone, that all are called to be the children of God. The last prophet and the last prophetess welcoming the new age of love entering into the world, and we are called to continue that proclamation. What would that mean in our world today? How can we practice that type of total proclamation in the name of Jesus?
