God wishes us small
image from bc.anglican.ca
What if there is an opportunity this Advent and Christmas to be powerfully small?
What if we spent some of our December remembering the ants and honeybees? To remember that the Earth depends on the ants to aerate the soil and the bees to pollinate the fruit. Or to remember bacteria—a mindless organism that consumes everything it encounters? To remember how bacteria decomposes the deadfall to feed the trees. What if we remember all the good viruses, like the phages in our body that kill harmful bacteria in our digestive and respiratory tracts?
Instead of focusing on what is diminished in our celebrations this year, maybe God is inviting us to consider the powerful in the small things in our lives.
