Epiphany Sunday

Epiphany Sunday: The term epiphany means "to show" or "to make known" or even "to reveal." In Western churches, it remembers the coming of the wise men bringing gifts to visit the Christ child, who by so doing "reveal" Jesus to the world as Lord and King.

Today I had an epiphany of sorts. I realized that I needed to be somewhere, somewhere other than where I am right now. I needed to start the year in a place where my soul could be touched with worship, joy and truth and anchored with the meal of remembrance. A piece of bread torn from a loaf, a cup and words of blessing personally spoken to me. Hands that reached out and embraced me, questions about my family and simply loving smiles from across a room.

I feel blessed that there is such a place for me to return and feel at home.
