Immanuel

Immanuel, Our God is with us
And if God is with us, Who can stand against us
Our God is with us, Immanuel.

For all those who live in the shadow of dealth
A glorious light has dawned.
For all those who stumble in the darkness
Behold, your light has come.

We've been stumbling in the darkness. We've lived in the shadow of the pandemic, in the shadow of loneliness, in the shadow of loss and hardship. As we acknowledge that many in our midst have endured some very large challenges in this past year, we also pause to give thanks.

We give thanks for love shared. We give thanks for the memories that literally we wouldn't trade for anything. We give thanks for all those in our lives who encourage and support and help us along life's path. We give thanks for the ways the challenges cause us to stretch and grow in our own faith.

We give thanks for Immanuel, God with us. We give thanks for the ways that the Holy One's glorious light is dawning in our lives. We give thanks that we rest upon the eternal promises.

Our hearts are full. When we pause to ponder all the beauty God brings into our lives we live gratefully. When we live gratefully we see more clearly the blessings even in the midst of the challenges.

If God is for us, who can stand against us? Trust that God's light will lead us through the darkness. Together, with Immanuel, we will find our way.

Shalom, Cindy
