Merry Christmas!
All month long and through the season of Advent, I’d been teaching about hope in my yoga classes. I talked about hope being powerful and fragile, how we need to model hope for future generations, and about finding joy in hoping.
On December 23rd I taught from the Gospel of Luke. I read a story about Mary going to visit her friend while she was in the early stages of her pregnancy with Jesus. Her friend, Elizabeth, was also pregnant and the child in Elizabeth’s womb lept inside of her when she encountered pregnant Mary. It was a joyous moment and in the exchange Elizabeth said:
“Blessed is she who believed in the fulfillment of what the Lord had spoken to her” (Luke 1:45)
In this season and always, believe that what the Lord has spoken to you will be fulfilled. And trust God’s timing, it’s perfect.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13)
Thank You Very Sweet
